In northern Nova Scotia, researchers are still investigating the cause of death of a large great white shark that washed up near Pictou recently. The Marine Animal Response Society reported finding the 580-kilogram male shark on a beach, prompting a weekend necropsy by the researchers. Dr. Laura Bourque from the Canadian Wildlife Health Co-operative in P.E.I. mentioned that no clear cause of death was determined, indicating the need for further tests.
Conservation efforts have played a crucial role in the recovery of the great white shark population after a significant decline in the 1970s and 1980s. Climate change has also been cited as a factor, with rising ocean temperatures facilitating the northward migration of various marine species.
