Sharks called unpredictable by fishermen and researchers
Fisherman Andy Harmon on a 35 foot boat chumps sharks in the Gulf of Mexico. John Watson of the National Marine Fisheries Service calls sharks unpredictable yet responsive to stimuli. Gulf Coast experts say shark attacks remain unlikely for beachgoers near Biloxi. Local sharks include mako hammerhead white tip sand bull and tiger, with the tiger growing up to 30 feet. Sharks locate prey by smell vision and the lateral line, detecting odors from a quarter mile away at one part in 1.5 million.
