Carleton University Researcher Reveals New Findings on Ferocious Fish<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Ottawa) \u2013   <\/strong> While most people like to admire barracuda from afar, Amanda O\u2019Toole thought she would take the plunge and study this ferocious fish up close and personal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As part of her master\u2019s degree in science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, O\u2019Toole journeyed to the Bahamas to learn more about these toothy creatures. <\/p>\n

\u201cStrangely, there is very little known about barracuda biology despite the fact that they are widely regarded as important predators in tropical marine waters,\u201d says Steven Cooke, one of O\u2019Toole\u2019s two thesis advisers. \u201cAmanda\u2019s work is an important first-step in managing and conserving these fish.\u201d<\/p>\n

In order to collect her data, O\u2019Toole became the first person to surgically implant telemetry transmitters in barracuda to study their movements. <\/p>\n
