Terrific song and arrangement, Laly - you don't even need to understand the words to enjoy. The horns remind me of New Orleans Jazz.

Whale sharks: how we discovered what’s killing so many of the world’s largest fish

May 9, 2022

Over 80% of international trade is carried by sea. Much of what we use and consume everyday either has been or will be transported on huge vessels which plough the global ocean.

The courses these container vessels take are fixed shipping routes known as marine highways, which are not unlike motorways on land. These highways, which vessels travel back and forth, connect distant ports, often on opposite sides of vast oceans.

Marine highways can also cut across the movements and migratory routes of marine animals. Giant plankton-feeding whales and sharks are particularly vulnerable to being struck and killed by large vessels as they spend long periods near the surface. Our new study found that this threat may be a greater cause of death for the world’s largest fish, the whale shark, than anyone previously realised.

Whale sharks can reach lengths of up to 20 metres. Despite their robust appearance, their numbers have declined by over 50% in the last 75 years. In 2016, they were added to the growing list of endangered shark species.
