Social grouping behaviour in early juvenile Blacktip Reef Sharks around Milman Island in the far north of the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland
This note details multiple observations of grouping behaviour in small juvenile Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) around Milman Island in the northern Great Barrier Reef. We conclude that this is social grouping behaviour and is suggestive that the waters around Milman are a pupping area for this species.
