Opportunities for shark research in the Bahamas, Fall 2003-winter 2004.
(please excuse cross postings)

Volunteer positions at the BBFS Sharklab will be available starting October
15, 2003 and continuing through the year. The Bimini Biological Field
Station in collaboration with marine biologists from the Drexel University
(US), Plymouth University (UK) and the Field Museum (Chicago) will be
conducting field research on the behavior of young lemon sharks using both
telemetry-tracking and monitoring as well as observation and experiments on
captive animals. A second, continuing project concerning the genetics of
reproductive biology will involve intensive tagging and collection of DNA
from the 2003 and 2004 cohort of lemon sharks born at Bimini lagoon and
elsewhere.

In addition to the Bimini site, lemon shark projects are underway at
the Marquesas Keys, Florida and Atol das Rocas, Brazil. We are aiming to
continue our research on ecosystem dynamics of lemon shark nurseries
including GIS and Ecopath analysis; and broaden our genetic studies.
PhD candidates who have completed their course work are encouraged to
contact us. Small stipends to cover some travel and living expenses in the
Bahamas as well as equipment and supplies are available to successful
candidates.

If you are interested in joining the research team either as a project
leader or as a volunteer--for a minimum of one month, please contact
Dr. Samuel H. Gruber at [email protected] Please also visit our
