The curiosity of tracking sharks and learning more about their habits has never been made easier than with FishTrack's shark tracking. Learn more about various species of sharks without leaving home.

Orange County, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2013 -- From the West Coast to the East Coast, Shark Tracking is one of the most popular sports and past times in the fishing industry today. Whether interested in Great Whites or Mako Sharks there are many resources for all shark tracking needs just waiting to be used to locate fish.

Here on the West Coast, FishTrack.com is tracking two short-fin Mako sharks, which were tagged back in July 2012. By using "the latest generation of compact fin-mount satellite transmitters" scientists are able to track the exact location in real time of each shark as they breech the surface of the ocean. These sharks in particular are a great species to track because they spend majority of their day amongst the Pacific Ocean sea surface making it easier to locate them as they migrate through the water. Through the use of these satellite transmitters the Mako Sharks can be tracked for up to two years. FishTrack works with the National Fisheries Service, utilizing the tracking tags to create extensive pictures of the migration routes of each Mako Shark.

On the East Coast Mary Lee and Genie, two great white sharks are being tracked by Ocearch.org. The two were first tagged in Cape Cod, Boston and are now being followed on their southern migration down the coast. While Mary Lee is currently swimming around the coast of Brunswick, Georgia, Genie has made it all the way down to Jacksonville, Florida as of last Friday night. According to the Cape Cod Times, the smart positioning tags used on the two great whites will be able to track their where-about for up to four years. For more information and/or updates on these two sharks, people can follow them on facebook or on the Ocearch.org website. The intention of these devices is to be able to better study and understand the mating, birthing and hunting rituals of this species.

Southern Louisiana fisherman battle cold weather and drastic changes in barometric pressure as they fight to successfully catch fish.

Orange County, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2012 -- Southern Louisiana is home to some of the coldest and most frantic weather changes in the United States. This leads to chaos and confusion not just on land but in the water as well. It has been recently discovered that the constant increase and decrease in weather climate creates a high level of pressure through out the bodies of water in the area. This contributes to, as stated by Jerald Horst, a retired Louisiana State University fisheries biologist, "the quelling effect on the feeding activity of speckled trout and redfish. There's no scientific proof that barometric pressure causes fish to feed less, but we can definitely show a cause and effect."

Horst continues in explaining that while there is no proof that barometric pressure is the direct result of a change in the eating habits of fish it does seem to correlate. Fish tend to be exceptionally sensitive to a change of environment and it would be fairly reasonable to assume that a change in barometric pressure would cause an alteration in their behavior.

Additionally effective is the relationship that fish have to cold water. As water temperatures decrease it is known that cold-blooded creatures have a hard time feeling energize. As water looses warmth it reaches a level that matches the same temperature as the bodies of cold-blooded creatures. This causes these animals to go into a lethargic "comatose state."

As soon as the cold front drifts in it is overtly noticeable that the fish stop biting the lures of fisherman. It has become a routine known to this area so often that fisherman now recognize the change and stay home for a day or two avoiding the sport all together until temperatures rise again. Anglers of Southeast Louisiana have even learned to cancel a whole fishing trip due to a drop in barometric pressure.

Orange County, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/19/2012 -- According to the Huffington Post, a new study by researchers such as Elizabeth Alter, of City University of New York, York College focused on current whale populations and suggested their numbers were much larger even as little as 200 years ago.

Whales are a majestic animal but have experienced some danger due to people hunting them. In 2001, there were 684 whales killed, according to the non profit organization SoundNet. This epidemic is effecting oceans in the United States and raising awareness though wale watching tours or trips to local beaches is a great way to educate loved ones and friends.
