Sharks and rays of Australian seas. Format Book Published [Sydney] Angus and Robertson [] Description x, p. illus. 24 cm. Notes Bibliography: p. Subject headings Rays (Fishes) Sharks. Fishes--Australia. The Secret Social Life of Sharks. The recent findings of a four-year research study have revealed that sharks have more complex social lives than we previously thought.

Shark populations around the planet are severely declined. They need protection from targeted shark fishing for shark been soup and sport fishing.
