This week on World of Sharks we are diving into the world of an iconic species: the blue shark, Prionace glauca. Known for their big eyes, pointed snouts, mesmerising metallic blue colour and inquisitive nature, blue sharks are a species of requiem shark that occur in temperate and tropical oceans around the world. We are joined by Dr Jenny Bortoluzzi, shark scientist and SOSF project leader, who studied this species in Irish waters for her PhD and tried to understand why they came to the area in such large numbers, and discovered some quite surprising things about their eating habits… Digressions include some very friendly sunfish, travel-happy porbeagles, and why on earth a shark would choose to eat jellyfish. Time stamps: Jenny's life and career [6.30-20.10], blue sharks and Jenny's research [20.20 - 45.00], porbeagle tagging [45.30-49.50], conservation implications [50.00].  You can follow Jenny's work by heading to her website (https://jennybortoluzzi.wordpress.com/) or following her on social media (@DrSharkyJenny).  You can find out more about the Save Our Seas Foundation by heading to www.saveourseas.com.

The brilliant world of the blue shark with Dr Jenny Bortoluzzi

In our first ever episode of the Whole Tooth, we take a deep dive into the weird and wonderful world of shark mating and reproduction! Digressions include the shark that takes 150 years to reach sexual maturity, baby sharks that chow down on their brothers and sisters in the womb, and the seriously cute baby sunfish. Our special guests this week are the incredible Jillian Morris-Brake, marine biologist, award-winning underwater photographer and founder of Sharks4Kids, and multi-talented shark researcher, scuba diver and Sharks4Kids ambassador, Jenny Bortoluzzi. Sharks4Kids is a non-profit dedicated to encouraging the next generation of shark advocates through outreach, education, and adventure (www.sharks4kids.com). You can follow Jillian on @biminisharkgirl and Jenny on @sharkyjenny. This podcast is brought to you by the Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF).
