Home Actor Riley Elliott HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers November 2022 Riley Elliott Instagram - A juvenile Great White washed up on Ripiro beach on New Zealand’s w coast with what looks to be an Orca predation, with an incision to extract the nutrient rich liver. This is something Orca in Nz have done for a long time with shark species. Compared to the highly covered S Africa incidences, in Nz its generally been stingray and other shark species, as documented by Orca specialist Dr Ingrid Visser and Steve Hathaway. While this has likely occurred with White sharks in Nz due to their presence, this is of the first to wash up. The area this occurred in is coastal to a well known GW nursery, the Kaipara harbour as documented by Dr Clinton Duffy. It reflects why harbours are used as nursery grounds for shelter and plentiful small food sources for young juveniles. Going outside can pose more risk not only to predation but also coastal set nets and kontiki fishing lines which regularly catch juvenile white sharks. This is one of the reasons for my GW tagging project in NE NZ, in order to better understand the habitat use of this critical age demographic. Not only for the predation but also bycatch through fishing. Given this potential orca kill is a rare find I don’t feel a need to worry about GW displacement seen in S Africa and documented by @alisontowner but it is critical to obtain baseline understanding of shark distribution to measure any potential affect of Orca predation or fishing practises. The most important observation from images thanks to David Cameron, is the shark had its head removed by people. I mention this as its illegal to kill, harm or disturb a live white shark but also to tamper with a dead one. It is a legal requirement to report accidental capture of GWs to the Department of Conservation so that they can continue to protect this species. Orca predation aside, there have been several human induced fatalities of GWs in NE NZ where I am starting a tagging study so please ensure you visibly monitor set nets, don’t set near aggregations of GWs and meet legal requirements for length and naming floats.
