Fin tech: underwater robot monitors sharks in Scottish waters

'SharkCam' could shed light on sex lives of basking sharks in Sea of the Hebrides

Basking sharks off the coast of the UK are having their own Love Island moment: an underwater robot has been filming their interactions to shed light on everything from sex to group behaviour.

Researchers say the autonomous "SharkCam", which was deployed in July around the Inner Hebrides, has captured wide-angle high-definition video of sharks that have been tagged, with the team now wading through the footage.
