Whale Sharks The Giants of Ningaloo Reef Geoff Taylor Every March and April, the coral of Ningaloo Reef spawns in a spectacular burst of colour and activity. In the wake of the spawning come the giants of Ningaloo-the whale sharks, the biggest fish in the ocean. Whale sharks can grow up to 13 metres (40 feet) in length, yet these creatures were virtually unknown, save for a rare few sightings, until a few years ago. In the early 1980's, the author was lucky enough to swim with the sharks at Ningaloo Reef, off the North-West Cape of Western Australia. Since then, he has spent all his spare time diving with them, photographing and studying them, trying to uncover some of the mysteries that surround them.

Field Guide to Australian Sharks and Rays R K Daley, J D Stevens, P R Last & G K Yearsley Australia has an extremely diverse shark and ray fauna. There are more than 300 different species and at least half of these are thought to only occur in our waters. With many different activities having an impact on these species, Australia is committed to developing the Nation Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks. Many Commonwealth-managed fisheries have also developed bycatch action plans that commit to the collection of comprehensive information on bycatch species to underpin sustainable management. This user friendly guide was developed by CSIRO, AFMA, and FRDC so that fishers, observers and scientists can identify the main Australian target and bycatch species of sharks, rays and chimaerids.
