	Fishery Bulletin: Concurrent scavenging off a whale carcass by gr... @ HighBeam Research
		This paper presents observations of white and tiger sharks scavenging off the floating carcass of a Bryde's whale, Balaenoptera edeni, off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
		In August 1993, Natal Sharks Board (NSB) observers saw both species feeding on the carcass of a humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae, off Durban, but they were not seen scavenging concurrently (NSB(1)).
		Although scavenging off whale carcasses by white sharks (Carey et al., 1982; Pratt et al., 1982; McCosker, 1985; Long and Jones, 1996) and tiger sharks (Compagno et al., 1998) has been documented, the two species have not been recorded feeding concurrently on the same carcass.

	Shark-lovers Bare Teeth at City Zoo (5 November, 1996) - WildNet Africa - News File
		Dr Labuschagne said the capture had been sanctioned by the Natal Parks Board and he was confident that the sharks would play a valuable role in educating members of the public about the importance of sharks.
		National Zoological Gardens (Pretoria Zoo) Director, Dr Willie Labuschagne, has refused to rise to the bait after the zoo came under fire from KwaZulu-Natal shark-lovers for capturing two ragged-tooth sharks off the South Coast.
		One of the sharks was captured about two weeks ago and is on show in the zoo's aquarium, while the second was caught this weekend near Umgababa and was being transported to the city yesterday.

		The Natal Sharks Board report that the average size of bull sharks caught in their beach nets have significantly declined in recent years, which does not bode well for South African populations of the species.
		Bull sharks have relatively small eyes as compared to other carcharhinid sharks, which suggests that vision may not be as important a hunting tool for this species which often occurs in turbid waters.
		Bull sharks often appear sluggish as they slowly cruise along the bottom, but are quite quick and effective at capturing smaller, agile prey, and are capable of burst speeds of over 11 mph (19 km/h).

	Electrical Shark Repellent
		For over a decade the Natal Sharks Board experimented in the use of electrical fields to repel sharks.
		Tests against the other two species of dangerous sharks which divers are likely to encounter in nearshore waters, namely the tiger Galeocerdo cuvieri and the bull (Zambezi) shark Carcharhinus leucas, were limited but with good results.
		Most of these tests were conducted on white sharks Carcharodon carcharias on South Africa’s southwest coastline, which is internationally renowned as the best region in which to encounter this species.

	BBC NEWS World Africa South Africa's shark safety-net threatened
		Sharks nets, which for decades have protected surfers and swimmers off South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal province, may soon be taken down.
		Sharks are responsible for some 70 to 100 attacks worldwide each year, but of these an average of only five to 15 are fatal.
		There are several kilometres of nets, and it takes hours for the Sharks Board boat crews to work their way along the full length, looking for trapped sharks and other marine life.

	Shark net reduction to help ecology - WildNet Africa News File
		The number of shark nets at several beaches along the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast will be scaled down by 25% to 30% this week as part of a Sharks Board initiative to reduce negative ecological impacts.
		The Board was confident that the number of nets could be reduced without compromising the safety of bathers - and at the same time reduce the number of sharks, dolphins, turtles and rays killed in the nets.
		The Sharks Board said comparative research conducted over several years had shown that Australia used far fewer nets to protect its bathers against shark attacks, and that the KZN coast had too many nets.

	Sharks Magazine vault publications - June 2000 regulars
		I first met Gary Teichmann during my first year in Kwazulu-Natal in 1984 when I took the Natal Craven Week team for a couple of practices and also attended the Craven Week in Bloemfontein where he was.
		I’ll never forget the Natal loose forwards back then were Freddie Swanepoel of Glenwood High School, Steve Atherton of Pinetown Boys’ High and Gary Teichmann of Hilton College.
		Gary Teichmann is a perfect example of a successfully manufactured leader, one who took the role with some uncertainty and through his own talents, hard work and a hell of a lot of unrestrained support, turned into one of the all-time greats.

		DURBAN - The return of Springbok and Natal Sharks flyhalf Henry Honiball to the game and a great first-half kicking duel with Free State's Jannie de Beer was a feature of a thrilling Bankfin Currie Cup rugby encounter at Kings Park Stadium here last night.
		Honiball and prop Adrian Garvey -- playing his 100th game for the Sharks and as man of the match -- brought experience and stability to the side as they inflicted a 30-22 defeat on the Free Staters after leading 20-16 at halftime.
		It was Honiball's return to the pivotal position which set the Sharks alight from the start as they swarmed all over the Cheetahs in the first five minutes.

		SeaChange said testing of the electronic shark repellent units in waters off South Australia and South Africa, both renowned Great White habitats, showed sharks were repelled at about two to three metres (six to nine feet) from a swimmer.

		"It puts out a very precise electrical field that sharks perceive because of a hunting sense they have," Jerry Kleeman, managing director of SeaChange, told reporters yesterday.

		Teichmann was controversially axed as Springbok captain and from the squad earlier this week, while Andrews was overlooked for the home leg of the Tri-Nations.
