Catching a shark must be
The Aquatic Center in the UK is training dolphin-like sharks in the hope of reducing the 'aggressive' level of this predator.
The brave officers of the oceanographic area began using shark training methods after seeing them respond well to this process. They are entering intensive training using the same color schemes and sounds that the scientist Ivan Pavlov applies to his dogs.
Staff are training sharks with signs and sounds.
Sharks receive signals through sight, hearing and reach the person holding the board. After that, sharks rub their nose against the board until they are fed. This means that the feeding process will be easier because they know when it's their turn. According to research by American scientists, the 'smart' shark will acquire this command after three months of training.
This training will help employees become more exposed to sharks.
Carey Duckhouse, a center specialist, said: 'American scientists have shown that a lot of sharks can quickly learn both signals by image and sound. Advances in shark care have a great significance. We have to move them when they are overgrown by the size of the tank or when the center needs refurbishment and their 'easier maintenance' will facilitate the movement. '
In addition, the training process will enable scientists to conduct routine health checks for sharks and treat them, without resorting to the same types of shark traps or anesthetics. 'We have a hook and we'll use it whenever we want to feed the sharks' , Carey Duckhouse said funnyly.
