I also think it would be wise to conduct a study on the effects of shark feeding on shark behaviour and ecology. Do the sharks still forage and travel normally even if fed on a regular basis? Does shark feeding have a significant effect on population growth? How often do you need to feed shark populations before drastic behavior changes occur? Ultrasonic and/or satellite telemetry techniques could be valuable in answering these key questions.
