The tag is designed to fall off the shark and float to the surface, whereupon it sends data via satellite on the shark&#8217;s movements.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers from the South African Shark Conservancy (SASC) have been shocked at the migration pattern of the tagged shark which covered a distance of 2,000 kilometres.<\/p>\n<p>SASC representative Meaghen McCord lamented that &#8220;despite being listed by the IUCN as near-threatened globally, there are no existing management or conservation measures for bull sharks in South Africa or Mozambique&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>McCord called for temporary protection of bull sharks until they can be studied further, pointing out that the sharks are apex predators and play a role in maintaining the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>SASC has offered an award of 150 US dollars for the return of the tag, which is believed to be floating somewhere off the coast of Mozambique.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Visit site:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105270746.html\" title=\"Zambezi Shark Migrates to Barazuto\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zambezi Shark Migrates to Barazuto<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 26 May 2011 London \u2014 Researchers have found that a bull shark, also known as a Zambezi shark, has migrated from the South Western Cape in South Africa to near the Mozambican island of Bazaruto over a period of just two months.
