Did you know whale sharks aggregate in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef? Our latest research on Rhincodon typus, led by Ingo Miller, identifies Wreck Bay as a key habitat with peak aggregation from late-Nov to late-Dec. Satellite-tagging shows movements concentrated along the continental shelf before dispersing into the Coral Sea.
