Bull shark freshwater conversion
- Thread starter BBF
- Start date
A bit late to chime in, been slammed with odd tasks at work lately (see thread in the FW ray section for details).
As posted, the volume needed of fresh compared to salt is vastly larger. Waste production in low salinity is much more than the amount produced in marine environments due to the process of osmoregulation going on inside them.
Few places are keeping bulls well in captive settings. In fact, I can count the number of places keeping them well on one hand....possibly even 4 fingers.
I love bulls, and I love working with them. This Summer I hope to invest more time into solid research and documentation of capture, transport and long term standardized care for them.

If you're into bulls, here are some of my more rescent pics:

Some tucked into my shark album as well, but you have to sort out the other species to find them:
