New Port Jackson shark Project

I've recently started a project looking at the possible uses of natural markings to identify individual Port Jackson sharks - Heterodontus portusjacksonii.

From my preliminary results it looks as if the project will be quite successful.

I have played around with a program called StripeSpotter and had a little bit of success. I am now trialling some software that is used to analyse manta rays, whale sharks and great white sharks - I3S Manta.

Stay tuned for my results. Also, anyone who is doing similar research, I'd love to hear from you. Please get in contact and we can network and share experiences.
