Is there a shark in the sea. Are there dangerous sharks in the Black Sea? Shark White Barents Sea What City

Are there people who have not watched the famous thriller Stephen Spielberg "Jaws"? I think that such people are very small. I revised several times this exciting movie. :) I attracted me this film, because at every moment when the shark was shown to a person, I thought: "Thank God, it's not me!". :)

Stamp vacation every year becomes only popular in our country. And here there is someleak, whether sharks are found in these resorts. I will tell about it in more detail. :)

Statistics

As statistics says, about 100 cases of sharks per person are registered every year.Moreover, these data come from relatively developed countries, in which contact cases are conducted with shark. On the contrary, in African countries, it seems, there are a lot of attacks, however, there are no services that should register all cases.

According to official data, the greatest number of attacks occurs in, Australia, South Africa and Brazil.

What seals are sharks

Sharks dwell, mainly in the warm seas. Here is a small selection:

Mediterranean Sea. This reservoir is suitable for habitat for sharks. Thus, in this sea, cases of sharks attack periodically register. Over the past 100 years, 22 cases with fatal outcome are recorded.
Aegean, Adriatic and Ionian Sea.I will write about them in the same section, as they are all in the Mediterranean Sea. Since 2008, in 2011, a considerable amount of terrible news about sharks attacks was registered in these seas. Only in the Adriatic Sea in 2011, there were 34 terrifying cases of contact Shark with a person.

Red sea. But this is relevant for residents of Russia. For example, I was in Egypt not so long ago, in Hurghada. This resort town is located on the banks of the Red Sea. When I have fun splashing in the water, I did not think about the possible presence of sharks. But because of statistics, approximately 30 species of these creatures live in this sea. And the attack cases are periodically fixed.
Black Sea. Perhaps this is the safest place. The habitats in this reservoir are not suitable for sharks, so you can safely go to the resorts of the Black Sea. :)

The right was the poet - the country is really wide, and a lot of things in it, the most different, and on land, and in water.

Among dangerous predators - there are even sharks. True, Russian sharks are more likely to be American or Australian, but they still imagine a certain danger.

Sharks in Russia - the phenomenon at the same time and unusual, and the usual. Normal - Since these predators live in almost all of our seas having an ocean contact.

Unusual - because we are very unusual to hear about terrible monsters, which found themselves almost under the nose.

Moreover, the Russian sharks until recently "almost exemplary" behaved "- no attacks, no victims.

At the same time, the meetings of fishermen with them were periodic and even happened by bloodless contacts.

What sharks live in the waters of Russia?

A brief top called Russia's shark could look like this:

1. - The most popular appearance, practically harmless, in relations and attacks, "flashering" it is not seen.
2. Salmon shark - east of the country, can even come in the northern regions. It is not hazardous, her jaws are "sharpened" under the hunt for fish.
3.. Rare guest in the Gulf of Peter the Great and Tatar Gulf. Represents a threat due to their impressive sizes and aggressive ingredients. Prefers a predominantly bottom lifestyle, so the meetings with it are random.
4. (Akula Lisa) visits the Sea Okhotsk, episodes of attacks are not fixed, the food is exclusively fish. Hunting tool - tail.
5. May come to Kamchatka, but its visits are exceptional, since this predator is not tied to a certain place to feed. The danger of the attack on her side is present.
6. - The northern copy, in addition to the seas of the Ice Ocean, sometimes appears on Kamchatka and Kurilla. These sharks in Russia do not pose a danger due to the impossibility of meeting them.
7. - Maybe even in the cool waters of the Kola Peninsula, absolutely harmless, the reputation of the cleaner, since it is powdered by plankton. "Smeals" is already predominantly in the Red Book, so the meeting with it is great happiness.
eight. . Subtropical predator, can be very dangerous due to unbridled aggressiveness. Suspected in many episodes, but without a good proven base. These rapid sharks in Russia can appear in the eastern region of the country in particularly hot summer periods.
nine. . Special comments are superfluous - very large and most dangerous shark representative. It was marked by a bloody trail in Primorye, Da Sakhalin reached.

So the top 9 can look like the most common not only in the waters of Russia, but also in the media predators from the kind of shark in our country.

But the attack of sharks in Russia until the summer of 2011 has never become an acute problem. It has become only only after a series of bloody episodes in Primorye.

Watch video - Situation with sharks in Russian waters:

By the way, in its greatest diversity of Russia's shark are presented in Primorye. This part of our country is washed by the warmest among all seas - Japanese, relating to one of the most beloved ocean sharks - quiet.

Among the predators permanent here are known - Katran, salmon, and a shark hammer is also found. In total, 7 families of sharks consisting of more than 12 species were recorded in this water area.

Katran and salmon sharks in Primorye are local aborigines that do not deliver any problems that periodically enter the fishermen in the network because they themselves love seaside fish.

Moreover, they often become an object of fishing, as they are delicious and even a delicacy.

The Rich Flora and Fauna of the Far East waters in the amount with common warm climate regimes of this region is also attractive also for predators bigger and better.

It is for valuable - salmon and sturgeon - the rocks of fish are saved here other predatory sharks.

In addition, Primorye is partly the protected area, there are rare types of seals and other mammals that make up the main item in the Shark menu.

Episodes of attacks sharks in Russia

Therefore, the seaside region was and is a potentially dangerous place where the attack of sharks in Russia becomes the most expected and, according to scientists, inevitable. In addition, the list of sharks of Russia is periodically replenished with new types of dangerous predators.

Attacks sharks in Russian waters are explained by periodic visits of predators to this water area, which is associated with the problems of ecology (purity and wealth of our water resources) and leading predators from subtropical regions here.

But it is worth noting here that the shark attacks that happened in 2011 in the Primorsky Territory occurred in the so-called "wild" places, i.e. Previously there are no former resting places, besides, located next to the security zone of the reserve.

The episodes wore the speed of attacks, which says not about the "planned" predator attack, but rather, about his "acquaintance" with a person as a potentially new object of hunting.

There is nothing to do anything - the civilization "comes" the sharks on the tail, so the options for meetings and contacts with maritime predators expand.

As for the suitability of Far Eastern coasts for the summer holiday, the relevant authorities and rescuers have already become prepared for the "contactless" rest of their citizens and tourists.

Flexible structures, networks, patrolling and other events should protect these waters, but, as always, most of the responsibility.

What sharks are tourists in the waters of Russia?

Against the facts of the participating appearance of large white sharks in our waters it is already difficult to argue. It is this kind of predator that threatens to become also permanent in the east of our country.

There are also data on the reproduction of these sharks in the waters of Russia, which was previously, according to the ideas of scientists, could not occur.

Of course, such alarming news do not mean the widespread settling of Karodonon in the Japanese and the Seas in the summer months, but this trend promises to increase. Therefore, the attack of sharks in Russia should not be excluded in this water area.

As an old and proven option - rest on the Black Sea can be an alternative to Primorsky. Here, exactly, no meetings with monsters are foreseen even in the most distant future.

The water area of \u200b\u200bthis sea can "boast" only the presence of a cathrane.

Biomass and the resources of the Black Sea are poor, they do not feed predators, even if in the list of sharks of Russia in the south will want to "sign up" and.

However, they will be extremely difficult to get here, and due to the meaninglessness of such migrations on scant food and there is no need.

So in the Baltic, Russian sharks will not disturb the hearts of our compatriots in the near future.

Media and Russian aculism

Rumors and fables about sharks can spoil the rest in the full sense, including in the media. They did not disgust with loud "sensations" even serious publications.

The brightest precedent of such "fried on the shark fat of the news was created back in 2010 with hearing about in the Red Sea.

But our means of information also did not remain without affairs in this matter. There were a few cases of deception of the naive public who were not aimed at no warning and detailed analysis of situations, but only unclean commercial interest.

So, thanks to our sharks, the pen was a real shark swimmed into the Nevsky Waters, and in Black Sea.

In addition to ordinary types of predator, exotic, and besides real evidence - fetaped and even fantastic.

So you should carefully choose both places of bathing and sources of information.

Finally, it should be said that a meeting with a potentially dangerous shark in our waters is permissible in the Far East, Sakhalin, Chukotka, Kurilla. Only this is not always a meeting with your death, mostly - just with fear.

And with the fear of attacking sharks to the means of struggle one - knowledge. And, of course, the skill is knowledge to apply.

According to disappointing data, in the future meeting of people with sharks will only be more expensive - this is due to both objective natural factors and with our human.

On the natural we do not affect no power - sharks will swim in our warm waters more often and more active. But the human factor we can completely manage. The main thing is to be reasonably signed in the changing world ...

Why did the oguli-cannibal dreamed to Russia?

Of course, they do not pose a danger to a person. Hiding on the day in the afternoon, they do not interfere with resting visitors. Even when meeting with fishermen, sharks are not attacked, but, on the contrary, go to the bottom.

The soft and warm climate of the Black Sea seven months a year meets coming tourists. Sometimes the desire to soak on warm pebbles and dry in clear water overshadows the idea of \u200b\u200bsharks that are found in the sea. Yes, indeed, locals and oceanologists will be able to confirm the presence of these creatures in the Black Sea area, but they do not pose a special danger to vacationers.

In history there is not a single confirmed fact of the attack of the shark per person. Rather, on the contrary, during the approximation of vehicles, they try immediately to hide to the depth. Throughout the day, sharks are located at the bottom of the sea and only after the sunset float to the surface.

Fixed a few species of sharks in the Black Sea:

Katran (sea dog). The size of this fish reaches one meter. Practically never goes to the shore, preferring colder habitats. Poisonous spikes on fins protect it from the attack of larger representatives. Attacks another fish even fusted. For a person is not hazardous.
Cat Shark, shark hammer, fish-sword. They met repeatedly researchers of sea depths, however, they do not have the opportunity to multiply in the waters of the Black Sea due to the low salt content. Presumably sharks fall through the Bosphorus Strait. Low-salted water is not suitable for fish born elsewhere. If they periodically and swim into the Black Sea, they die without leaving the offspring. Ikra and larvae die already during primary development.

Larger shark representatives are not able to exist here due to a scant feed base. Therefore, gray bulls or tiger sharks cannot satisfy their nutritional needs.

So it is safe to report that in the diet of the Black Sea shark the holidays are not included, you can safely go rest.

Sharks in the coastal waters of Anapa

Coming to our city resort on vacation and treatment of compatriots and guests from near and far abroad, sometimes greater amazement look at the sharks of the head in the food ranks of the central market and the buyers offered by sellers for delicious ear. "What is it really a part of the bodies of the cunning and evil masters of the seas and the oceans?! But why are they so small? Shark what?" "No," sellers categorically object to, - this is from our local shark catran ... "

And then where neither take and the experienced fisherman found. Told curious, as one day in the area of \u200b\u200bMaria Mary Magdalena, which is near the sea near the village of Blagoveshchenskaya, pulled almost a meter fish for ordinary spinning on God, well, clearly looks at the shark in miniature and as he wanted, it was, to throw it overboard yachts, But her owners showered, they say, the fish this delicate - of it and the cutlets are excellent and the ear is awesome. Listened. Taking mining ashore. Separated it. The spouse added a little pork sala into the mince - the cutlets really turned out to be quite appetizing, and the ear of good - all with great pleasure were bought off, they also climbed spoons.

Our Black Sea is generally in great remoteness from the Great Seas and Oceans. Practically it is as if the inner reservoir of the huge European-Asian mainland. But there are still in nature well-known to the world Dardanelles, the strait, connecting the marble and Aegean seas among themselves. And in a pair with the Bosphorus (Turkey), the straits join the named sea with with our black sea. So the exit, although small, in the world ocean is. But he is so noisy that no self-respecting shark rursted in him to enjoy. And the Black Sea itself for sharks is too restless - how many different countries in its coastal strip are located?! I get into it some kind of real shark - it is even a creature and stupid, but all the way, the hell's hellish noise and an unimaginable crowdation in local waters will be crazy and easily, fleeing, will be thrown ashore.

But this is certainly in our fantasies. In fact, shark, oddly enough, there are still in the Black Sea, and the Anapian coasts are also found. Only for two-legged individuals, they mean for us the creatures underwater are completely harmless and although they have several rows of sharp teeth in their mouth, they do not attack people, on the contrary, they are silent, flying down to the depths of sin.
Shark these we have only two types. The first - Katran - split part of it and offer to buy in the central market or, for example, on a large utrish, where what only sea delicacies and from which seas are not covered - the same Magadan crabs, marine scallops and the like.
By the way, for your information - you can really meet with a katran or cat shark, joining our resort to

Many tourists who have decided to spend their holidays on the Black Sea, concerns the issue of bathing in its waters. Particularly alarming guests of local resorts abundance of fresh shark meat in fish markets, indicating the close presence of marine predators. Are the sharks in the Black Sea? Indeed, some species of these fish are comfortable. But do not hurry to change your plans for summer holidays: reading the article, you will learn whether sharks are dangerous in the Black Sea for a person.

Is there a shark in the black sea, dangerous for a person?

The risk of a person's meeting in the waters of the Black Sea with predators representing a threat to life is very small. A lot of densely populated coastal cities, intensive shipping, numerous swimsters - all this does not contribute to the attractiveness of local expanses for the inhabitants of other reservoirs. The low salinity of water and monotony suitable in food fauna is not added to the popularity.

The offspring of fish, unsuitable for large temperatures, it simply will not survive, and adult predators will also be no comfortable in the cold season.

Therefore, large sharks, like white, randomly fallen into the Black Sea through the Bosphorus, prefer not to linger here. Faced with an unsuitable environment, they turn back to the familiar setting.

Until now, no statistics recorded a single case of shark attacks in the Black Sea per person.

What sharks are found in the Black Sea?

Of all numerous types of sharks, only Katran is the permanent inhabitant of the Black Sea.

A small fish, which in the people is called a naval dog due to some similarity of the heads, the size of about a meter and weighing 8-12 kg, has a standard extended form. The body with a dark back and light sides is littered with small poisonous spikes. Catransleans have an excellent appetite: they attack all the moving fewer objects. Their diet consists of stavadids, hams and other marine inhabitants. Often, crabs and small dolphins fall into the teeth. Predators are more comfortable in the cold, therefore inhabit the bottom layers, only at night climbing the surface.

In the spring and autumn, these sharks living in the Black Sea are moved closer to the shore, and in October, they will rush deep into the birth of offspring. Because of the external similarity with white and blue sharks, representatives of this breed are often removed with a visual increase in horror films about the submarine fathers-cannibals.

Representatives of this type of marine predators are found in the Black Sea much less often of the cathranes. Cat Shark (Schillium) is not a permanent inhabitant of local water spaces. She lives in the Mediterranean Sea and only sometimes swims into black through the Bosphorus Strait. Mobile fish are not distinguished by impressive size: their body length is no more than a meter. Depending on the type of schillium, it has a dark or twister color.

He has a wide, with small and sharp fangs. The tail has the shape of the oars and performs the function of the steering wheel. Predators are powered mainly by the inhabitants of the sea, living at the bottom - crabs, scorpions, mollusks, ringed worms, while having arrange a hunt and fish. They picked up the victim by hiding behind the stones or algae. Acute eyesight and developed sense of smell allow a predator to easily find food, and thanks to the compact size and body shape, the fish is able to pursue production at high speed.

Other types of sharks float into the Black Sea rather rarely and do not delay there for a long time.

The greatest chances of meeting the tobast hunter in the Black Sea are available at divers and underwater hunters. A shark living here is very developed care: they perceive people not like prey, but as dangerous enemies. For this, marine predators have all the grounds: thanks to the gentle taste and nutrition of shark meat, they often become objects of hunting. To attack a person themselves, they do not allow small sizes, therefore Katran, and the Szyllium prefer other food.

Lovers of sea bathing, which first gather in the Crimea on vacation, are often interested, is there a shark in the black sea. Get an answer to this question you will be helped to give as locals living in the resort town or village and professionals - oceanographers who confirm that yes, sharks in the Black Sea are found and there are only two types of them. Are they dangerous or not? What dangerous sharks are swimming in the Black Sea? Do these predators sweep close to the coast? We will tell and show in this article.

Fauna of the Black Sea

The Fauna of the Black Sea does not differ in a rich variety. This is due to the fact that its water is very saturated with hydrogen sulfide. For this reason, many of the representatives of the local flora and fauna simply cannot exist there. Many species of fish and inhabitants of the neighboring seas are not swimming in the Black Sea from the Mediterranean, because they do not tolerate the smell of water with a saturated hydrogen sulfide.

As you know, sharks prefer to swim in the depths of the seas, and in the Black Sea, hydrogen sulfide and accumulates exactly there. Moreover, to get from the Mediterranean Sea to a black predator can only bothering the Strait of Dardanelles, then he needs to sail the marble sea, and the narrow spiring of the Bosphorus. Both straits are not wide, but this is not a problem for a predator, but the shallow water in some areas is an obstacle for them.

Sharks of the Black Sea: Katran and schillium

But still, the answer to the question is whether sharks are found in the Black Sea, will be positive. In its depths, the catransleans are small sharks, which are not a threat to humans, because they hunt for fish. Live catrania flocks. The average sizes of this type from the shark family slightly exceeds the meter in length.

Are the catranians? To kill a person or bite off his limb they cannot, but to damage and cause injuries to them. The fact is that there are sharp poisonous spikes on the skins and fins of Katrana. In some cases, the katrans can bite. For life, their bites can be dangerous if a flock attacks. Most often, fishermen suffer from meeting with Katrans, on ordinary people swimming and floating in the sea, the catranians are not attacked, except that you come to one of those who calmly warm in shallow water.

Externally, Katran looks like its distant relatives: White and blue sharks. This predator is a permanent inhabitant and a root of the Black Sea.

In the Black Sea, another shark is also found: cats or schillium. Feline shark length does not exceed one meter. Its diet includes Black Sea Mollusks and other invertebrates living in depths. Threats for a person and for his life she does not represent, on the contrary, trying to avoid meeting every way.

As you can see, neither the Katran nor the cat shark a person are enemies and still need to figure out whoever to whom the enemy is not shark hunt for a person, but, on the contrary, a person on shark. In the Crimea, all recreationers are offered to taste appetizing fish in the form of smoked delicacy - a baluster, which is similar to the dear sturgeon in its taste.

Black Sea sharks are actually very tasty. You can try the meat of these predators in the restaurant and on the beach, where local merchants are offered. But here you need to be vigilant. Buy fish products need to be purchased in stores where they are stored according to the rules.

For fans of sea hunt, local fishermen are ready to show the master class, how to catch a catran on the fishing rod. This is an interesting and fascinating activity for all those who love to go fishing.

Another interesting entertainment that will certainly offer you in Crimea is diving. Immersed to the depth, where these and other "residents" of the Black Sea dwell, you will get aesthetic pleasure and experience yourself to the end of the uncharted underwater world of the Black Sea.

Akula Goblin: An unusual guest from the Pacific

And now a little history. In 2010, in the Crimea off the coast of Sevastopol, local fishermen caught the shark of Goblin, which lives in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Naturally, they were puzzled by such a catch, as a result of which the sensational catch was the cause of the proceedings, as this creature could get into the water of the Black Sea, which is located at the distance of a thousand kilometers from her home. This is what is stated in the expedition reports of the Kharkiv researcher of the anomalous phenomena of Sergey Petrov:

"Sevastopol fishermen was surprised when it was killed. Here we saw many sea shoes, but such an instance was caught for the first time. On the frames that came to the "Mobile Reporter" site, it can be seen how sailors do not know what to do with a catch. Akula-Goblin, shark-house, shark rhinoceros or slapanin (lat. Mitsukurina Owstoni) hit the network of fishermen. The fish received its name for a fancy look: shark muzzle ends with a long cunning outgrowth. This species has little studied, science is known less than five dozen copies.

The houses dwells from the shores of Japan in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, and as he found himself in Antlanty, where the other salinity of water is incomprehensible. "I know the cases when the blue or tiger shark was swimming, but they sailed to the shores of the Bosphorus and went back, for them this barrier salns turned out to be insurmountable," says the Keeper of the Foundation of the Sevastopol Aquarium Alla Korotkov. Shark-houses dwells at a depth of 200 meters. It has been studied by extremely few. It is not known even whether it is threatened with disappearance and is aggressive in relation to man.

For Sevastopol Oceanologists, now the mystery, as Forgot Goblin lived for a long time in the Black Sea. But whether this marine inhabitant was the only representative of his kind in Sevastopol Bay - unknown. These sharks feed on a variety of organisms that live in deep waters. They eat fish, including other sharks, and can reach a length of 3-4 meters (maybe there are large sharks of this species, but the longest detected shark-goblin accounted for 3.8 meters in length). They also feed on crustaceans and squid, octopus and cuttlefish.

Goblin has several rows of teeth, of which some are intended for catching production, while others serve in order to overtake the shell of crustaceans. The front teeth are long and smooth framed, while the rear teeth are adapted to the discharge. Up to 25% of the body weight of Goblin Akula is her liver. This contributes to the buoyancy of sharks, which, like all sharks, is devoid of a swimming bubble.

These sharks hunt, feeling the presence of production due to special sensitive bodies, their vision is weak due to the lack of light at large depths. As soon as the shark finds her prey, she suddenly proves her jaws, using a muscle similar language to grab the victim into his sharp front teeth. "

Statistics on Attacks Shark in the Black Sea

Confirmed facts about the attack of sharks per person in the Black Sea are not, but as fishermen tell, they met a spotty barbedish.

Rarely visited the attacks of Katrana on divers who were themselves. They decided to play with harmless, as it seemed to them, shark and pull it over the tail. For which they paid, having received bites.

In some fishermen, who did not follow the rules of caution when leasing a predator, traces also remained in the form of scars and scars on the skin.

There are cases where vacationers accidentally occurred in the sea at the shark lying on the bottom. In this case, shark reacted immediately to the impact, regarding it as an attack.

To see the Crimean Catrana (barbed shark) and a sharp shark in any seaside town of Crimea, where there is aquarium.
