According to Australian Shark Attack file research, The number of sharks attacks in Australia increased reasonably between 1997 and 2017, but the reason for this is unclear. Although the Australian population has grown, this is not a convincing reason. Evidence Shown White Sharks are responsible for 28 of the 36 deadly attacks in Australian beaches. The CSIRO research shows there has been a small decrease in the number of adult White Shark since the year 2000. Furthermore, The CSIRO has developed a DNA analysis technique to evaluate adult white shark numbers in Australian waters without using the traditional way of measuring shark and fish populations by counting catches in the industrial fish trap.
After analysed of six global shark bite places in the world researchers find out Increase in shark bite is the result of some conditions such as :
- rises in the human population
- habitat destruction/modification
- changes in water quality
- climate change
- changing weather patterns, and
- the distribution/abundance of prey.
It’s important that any plans to reduce the number of sharks attacks are carefully considered, and used the proper research result.
