Activity of larger marine mammals and fish (incl sharks) in UK rivers. We had a killer whale wash up near where I live in the River Mersey near Hale Lighthouse and Porpoise are becoming a more common sight in the Mersey. Is this reflected across all UK rivers? Maybe some info on the salinity of rivers and how far upstream sharks can go in rivers.....

We get threshers around Jersey, and there are several shallow, sloping beaches in bays that are more-or-less inaccessible from the shore because they're under steep, crumbly cliffs. Our water is super-clear for most of the year, and we've seen Threshers from above (clearly, because of the tail, and we're up but still way closer than this video) cruising in shallows like this, moving identically as far as I can tell. We have so many tuna around here at the moment that you can spot them from shore pretty much daily. There's a ban on fishing them and a whole situation involving French boats coming in in stealth-mode to get to them, and mackerel aren't as abundant (I wonder if it's because of the amount of tuna) for fishermen, which is perhaps why we're seeing more big fish coming in to the shallows where smaller baitfish are seeking to escape.

@drewbewho Ай бұрын

I wasn't actually aware there were tuna in british waters

@rickjones641 Ай бұрын

@@drewbewho I was commercial scallop diving here in Jersey, seasonally, on and off over about the last 25 years, and it felt like the tuna here (we're that bit closer to the Bay of Biscay, and thus the entranced to the Med) started showing up around 2012 -- with the huge shoals (and I mean massive both in number and size of fish) arriving in 2015. Local skippers theorise that it's because of pressure from the Libyan fishing fleet in the Med, that boomed and became more lawless after Gaddafi was deposed in October 2011 and the country became more chaotic. They're here to stay in the Channel Islands it seems, and generally we share a lot of marine ecology with the south and south west coasts of England. I am 100% sure that our black bream and mackerel seasons have been decimated since their arrival, and we get a lot more cliff side sightings of things like porbeagles, tope, porpoises, dolphins, even pilot whales -- all the bigger predators --- closer to land than when I was growing up, maybe because the tuna patrol the more offshore parts of our waters in greater number nowadays.

@drewbewho Ай бұрын

@@rickjones641 ah, so theres all sorts of bigger predators being drawn up around the coast now? I wasnt aware.i've spent the majority of summers, maybe since 2008, actually in erquy not far along from there but i had no idea. We just fish off the harbour and rarely get a sniff of a mackerel. Normally just chinchard. Theres the processing port there and i remember the news about the fishinv wars they'd have with the brits over rights and quotas and so on. We used to swim from one beach to the next round under the cliffs and ofcourse your imagination would be at it wondering whats in those deeper waters below 😆

🇬🇧 on the North East coast of Britain, just north of Newcastle, a few years back, a Greenland Shark was found on Whitley Bay Beach. Reputed to have been over 250 - 300 yes old. However, our sea, the North Sea is not only violent & turbulent but FREEZING, hence our Greenland Shark I will say my friend works on the North Sea Fishing Boats/Trawlers, and has seen long shark shaped creatures just below his boats Especially when the weather has been warm & they've landed a haul, scavengers always hang round the Trawlers. My friend isn't sure if they are sharks or porpoise, even large seals, they don't have time to stand & stare when the haul is on board. Many of our local fishermen swear they have seen sharks, especially on the South East coast & the English Channel have had alot of sightings. Great Vid! Love Sharks! 🦈 peace 🙋

@drk321 26 күн бұрын

First off, mad respect for your channel as I have stated before. Eliminating thresher shark. You can se the pelvic fins way in the back and if it was a thresher the caudal fin (tail) would equal the length of the body which it clearly does not. Tope? 11 ft? not likely. Why this is a basking shark: its size. Only one shark known in UK waters that reach 11ft, a basking shark. Also the prominent pelvic fins of a basking shark but most indicative is the way the area which would be around the gills flares out exactly like the filter feeding basking shark. Small one but they begin life even smaller. The color is right too. The location says it should be no surprised to encounter a basking shark. But the flared gills give it away. My $0.02

The thresher I saw was 10ft long so a 5 ft shark and 5 ft tail. This video did not show a 50/50 ratio between body and tail.
