A new study by researchers with the Sea Around Us initiative at the University of British Columbia's Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries has found that high urea concentrations common in cartilaginous fish, particularly oviparous marine species, allow them to mature and begin to reproduce at a larger fraction of their maximal size.

Urea—the main component of human urine—plays an important role in the timing of maturation of sharks, rays and other cartilaginous fish.

Don't worry. Those suckerfish are just hitching a ride in that whale shark's mouth.
This incredible image scooped the Grand Prize in Scuba Diving magazine's 2020 Underwater Photo Contest, an annual competition celebrating the finest photography captured across the seven seas.
The Through Your Lens competition, now in its 16th year, attracted 2,636 entries from around the world.
Evans Baudin, of Baja California, Mexico, grabbed the winning shot while on an expedition in June 2020 to document marine life and the effects of reduced marine traffic due to Covid-19.

An officer on board the ship shot at an 8ft-long (2.4m) shark to deter it from attacking the crew members, who were swimming in the Pacific Ocean.
Almost 40 crew members were in the ocean at the time but Petty Officer Samuel Cintron who was on shark-watch duty on the Cutter Kimball managed to distract the shark.
No-one was injured and the creature appeared to swim away unharmed.

Scientists discovered four new species of sharks that walk. That's according to findings published this week in Marine and Freshwater Research. Shark scientists spent years sampling the DNA of the only known walking shark species to estimate when they evolved. They found four new species while they were at it.

Walking sharks use their fins to "walk" along the sea floor in search of food. Luckily, the scarier species haven't learned how to walk yet.
