We often catch small tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) on our longlines	John New applies an ID tag to a small tiger shark
Brad Wetherbee implants a small acoustic transmitter inside this tiger shark	Close-up of transmitter implantation
Sharks go into a coma-like state, or tonic immobility, when turned on their backs	Underwater view of transmitter implantation

Large pelagic fish like this kahala (amberjack) sometimes take our baits.  This one was dead on the line prior to pulling it in
