A team of scientists, conservationists and veterinarians will soon set out to achieve a world first in conservation by collecting shark semen in the wild.
From December 7 to 14, about 15 experts will try to collect sperm from the Indo-Pacific leopard shark (Stegostoma tigrinum) collecting males from North Stradbroke Island near Brisbane, Australia. They hope to use the semen for artificial insemination of female leopard sharks in aquariums in Australia and Singapore.
