Home Actor Riley Elliott HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers March 2023 Riley Elliott Instagram - An incredible Marlin encounter off the Coromandel. @thierrymeier and I were out exploring the pelagic blue and hooked a skippie, as it came to the surface it started hiding under the boat. Thierry said ‘it feels like something is chasing it’ and next minute boom this epic striped marlin fully predated on the skipjack tuna. Luckily I had my @gopro on hand and captured a very rare insight, close up of how these incredible predators hunt. The second pass was so close I pulled my hand out of the water. An epic experience. And the skippie was fully utilised for dinner. FYI did you know that skip jack tuna are the driving food source behind many of these large pelagic predators coming south on the E Aus Current and yet this food source does not have a quota to manage its numbers nor are there any catch limits? It is the main tuna that goes into our conveniently made canned tuna though. This is why I enjoy getting my fish from within the ecosystem as you are within the environment where natural competition exists, your take is individual and you gather a lot of respect for what you harvest. We can’t all go out on boats but we should be aware of where our food comes from and how that competes with natural ecosystems.

Riley Elliott Instagram – Incredible movement patterns by SWAJ which are almost mirror images of Mananui’s migration to the West Coast’s 90mile beach. This is fascinating for several reasons. Firstly these are two totally different demographics/ages. SWAJ is a new born GW which should be residing in nursery ground areas, which in theory would have suggested she stayed within or at close proximity to Tauranga Harbour. So has she been forced out of the region due to a murky flood water harbour so dirty she can’t visually hunt, or perhaps GW nursery range is larger than theorised. Secondly, why this specific path, so similar to Mananui? We know that sharks can migrate entire oceans and therefore are able to accurately navigate, so perhaps there are key features or ‘road signs’ used by both sharks. If so, what is amazing is that the ability to read these is pure instinct as baby GWs receive no parental guidance. The other option for such paths & one I looked into to ensure it wasn’t the case, is these are human tracks and the shark and tag are on a boat! I feared this with Mananui, in seeing such direct paths and when she then went into Whangarei port area. But with both tags I receive temperature and wet/dry sensor data which show that they are not on a boat, and are in fact just doing something that’s almost unbelievable. What is a very real risk however, is several of the hotspot bays these sharks are visiting, are some of the areas where a recent NIWA fishery report showed that 53 GWs had been killed over the past decade as bycatch in commercial set nets/gill nets. Furthermore we’ve seen dozens either caught or wash up dead after recreational set nets and longlines have entangled GWs. Takami showed us first hand, the very real gauntlet that these sharks run each day. I am not against fishing at all, and fishers in general aren’t against sharks, and if they are they should know that more sharks mean healthier populations of fish they are after. So the common goal should be to identify areas of critical habitat for these endangered GWs and contrast that with human induced risk to them & us, as that can empower an informed ability to co-exist. That is the GW Projects goal
