MISSION AND PURPOSE
RESEARCH AND SAFETY
Australian Wild Tours have integrated the Department of Primary Industries Shark Tagging Program into game fishing conductions.
The DPI Shark Tagging Program is used to obtain information on the biology, distribution, movement, growth, exploitation of identified shark species.
How does the tagging program work? Tags are issued to anglers and when an angler catches a Shark it is tagged and released, the details of the capture are recorded on a tag card with the corresponding tag number. The card is returned to DPI.
How is the data from the program used? The tagging data is used by scientists to study the lives and habits of these fish species. The migratory habits of the tagged fish are observed by measuring the distance and direction travelled between tagging and recapture, and this can be linked with environmental factors. Growth patterns are also monitored.
The observations also enable scientists to study the structure of fish stocks and assess whether there is any mixing between populations that are geographically distant from one another. This information is vital to improve the understanding and management of valuable game and sport fish species.
Australian Wild Tours are an advocate and educational platform which communicate the protection of Crocodiles and Public Safety in alignment with the NT Government CrocWise Campaign.
There is estimated to be around 100,000 saltwater crocodiles in the wild in the NT. Every year thousands of tourists and locals enjoy the natural resources of the Northern Territory from Kakadu & Litchfield National Park to the far remote extremities of Arnhem Land.
Being SAFE around the water and identifying areas which may inhabit Crocodiles is part of the Ucles Wild Tours experience, observe and interact with one of the most respected predators on earth.
