Hello all.
Just a few words to present myself, I am a french PhD student working on deep sea spurdog (spiny dogfish, greeneye spurdog and piked spurdog as exemple). One of my study will involve to keep these speces in captivity for 1 to 2 years. These experiments are very important for the conservation of these species. My post is to ask you to share your knowledge and experience around this topic as i don't want catching sharks to see them dying in my tanks due to a mistake i woul have done.
The first challeng ewill be to catch them and keep them alive even with the difference of pression. This part should be ok as all are not so deep sharks.
The second challenge is to keep them alive in the tanks ( I will give you the size of the tank later in the week). I Know from last experience that lots of them bumped in the tank and developped lacerations around the snout and the eyes whih leaded to infections and dead. I am thinking to keep them in a swimming tunnel (big size obviously!) or to protect them from the tank by adding some rubber or to create a air wall. But for the last one I will have to monitor the stress created by the air bubble.
What do youthink is the best solution
Cheers
I relocated my thread in the good forum, sorry for the cross posting. cichlid 2006 told me to ask Zoodiver.
Thanks for your help anyway
