A team of scientists have captured video footage of a narwhal using its tusk to stun a fish before feeding.
UWindsor researcher Nigel Hussey recently published an article arguing that sharing data resulting from tagging and tracking aquatic species is important to effectively protect ecosystems.
An article on the importance creating a global centralized network where researchers share aquatic species monitoring data to properly manage aquatic resources on a global scale.

Ecological conservation shouldn’t be derailed by economic sanctions dictated by politics, says a UWindsor researcher whose commentary on the subject has been published by the journal Nature.
Nigel Hussey wants you to think of pristine marine and terrestrial wildlife resources when you think of Sudan. But first, Sudan needs greater access to conservation funding and that’s proving to be a struggle because of economic sanctions imposed on the country.

It would appear, at least for now, that the great white shark population in the northwest Pacific Ocean has remained fairly stable over the last 60 years. Heather Christiansen would like to keep it that way.
Nigel Hussey and Steve Kessel tag a manta ray in the Red Sea off the coast of Sudan.
A rare type of hybrid manta ray has been discovered in the Red Sea thanks to the work of a trio of University of Windsor scientists and their research partners in Sudan.
The ray, a cross between a Reef Manta Ray (Manta alfredi) and a Giant Manta Ray (Manta birostris), is only the second documented case of hybridization in elasmobranchs, the subclass of fish that includes sharks and rays, according to the group.
The waters off the coast of Sudan are considered a biodiversity hotspot for such critically important marine species as sharks and manta rays, and a pair of UWindsor scientists has laid the groundwork to begin protecting them.
