Shark Mating and Deep Diving Seamounts - Summer of Scuba 2017
Fantastic sharks and the seamounts in Kimbe Bay, New Britain, PNG. In the video (2:57), you will see shoals of sharks in the blue just off the seamounts. You will notice the mating scars on the female's bodies caused by the males holding onto them. These scars are mostly deeper cuts and punctures, indicating a more forceful motivation such as coercive mating from the male's side. I must also mention the Grouper (8:06) was huge! I don't think the video footage does him justice.
