According to Discovery, which is worthy of being a Cleveland Bay shark's paradise located in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park on the northeast coast of Queensland, Australia. This is home to a multitude of different shark species, including pig eye shark (Carcharhinus amboinensis) and spotted tail shark (Carcharhinus sorrah).

Danielle Knip, the research leader expected to be published in the August issue of Fisheries Research, said that Cleveland Bay sharks have a free, free life thanks to the success of two sites. Large Conservation Park area is set up in the area.

'These areas belong to a network of marine protected areas, inside the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and prohibit commercial fishing activities. Therefore, the protection, against the pressure of fisheries seems to play a big role in creating low mortality rates of species living in this area, ' said Mrs. Knip, an expert from the Research Center. Save on James Cook University's fisheries and fisheries.

Ms. Knip added that conservation areas also help to ensure a plentiful source of food, facilitating the growth of sharks in Cleveland Bay.

The team believes that sharks can live in Cleveland Bay because they use different waters. This means they don't have to compete with each other for food, although small sharks can still be prey to larger sharks.
