Two Oceans Aquarium to release shark

THE Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town is to release its second ragged-tooth shark, "Val", on April 4 as part of its shark conservation and awareness programme.

The aquarium also aims to tag a wild ragged-tooth shark around the same time as the release of the "Val". This, says the marine attraction, provides a unique opportunity to gain much-needed scientific information about the lifestyle of ragged-tooth sharks off the South African coast.

There will be a competition to guess where "Val's" satellite tag will surface. Check www.aoca.org.za for the start of the competition and information on "Val's" progress.
