We use underwater cameras to capture footage of a white sharks dorsal fin and to identify their sex. Male sharks (like this one!) have claspers as seen in the last few seconds of this clip. Claspers are part of a male white shark's reproductive system. They are scroll shaped appendages that protrude near the shark's pelvic fin. Correctly sexing sharks is crucial to our research and providing accurate population parameters. #greatwhitesharks #greatwhitesharksareawesome #sharkresearcher #sharkrese

I am, in fact, weirded out by claspers! Claspers are male shark (and skate and ray) reproductive organs and each male shark has 2. The best way to tell if a male shark is mature is to fele its claspers. If they are bendy, he is not mature. If they are hardened (calcified) he is mature! They are so weird and gross but i respect their importance for bringing new baby sharks lol #shark #sharks #sharktok #marinebiology #marinescience #minoritiesinsharksciences #blackcreators #blackafinstem #womenins

When we enter a white shark into our database, we need a good shot of the dorsal fin that we use to identify individuals, the sex, size, and location of where it was seen. Sex is determined by the presence (male) or absence (female) of claspers located underneath and behind the pelvic fins.Sometimes it can be hard to confirm the shark to sex leaving it to be an ‘unknown’. This shark, however, made it easy.Sex is important to consider as males and females differ in a number of ways including migr
