This applies particularly in South-east Asia where the whale shark is increasingly used in commercial trade and for ecotourism. In this study an investigation of themovements of individual whale sharks from the greater Sulu Sea region was initiated using satellite telemetry. The movements of six sharks were monitored from 7 to 128 days. Two sharks travelled distances of 4567 and 8025 km. Both sharks moved through multiple political jurisdictions, confirming the need to manage the populations on a multilateral or regional level.This study was undertaken to evaluate whether whale sharks found in Malaysian and Philippine water are a shared stock. Differential management models (complete protection or managed harvest) of whale shark stocks between these national jurisdictions should be harmonized if such stocks are shared. By satellite tracking sharks found in each nation's waters, it should be possible to determine if individual animals move between jurisdictions.Argos raw data are included in the downloaded zip file.1998020319980611ground conditionCompleteNone plannedSoutheast Asia106.096124.79413.1663.812 NoneMarine Animal SurveyMarine BiologyAnimal taggingRadio transmittersNoneSoutheast AsiaTaxon coveredRays and sharksIntegrated Taxonomic Information SystemUnknownNot applicableDownloaded April, 2004http://www.itis.usda.gov/Refer to the contact information of the datasetRefer to the contact information of the datasetmailing and physical address
