Brief description

The ECOCEAN Whale Shark Photo-identification Library is a visual database of whale shark (Rhincodon typus) encounters and of individually catalogued whale sharks.

Lineage

Maintenance and Update Frequency: continual
Statement: The library uses photographs of the skin patterning behind the gills of each shark and any scars to distinguish between individual animals. The computer-aided system used to test for 'matches' of individuals was adapted from an algorithm used by Hubble space telescope scientists to 'map' stars. This population monitoring uses images from researchers, industry, tourists and volunteers.
