Video footage is taken on every dive as a behavioral reference, and later analyzed to document and track agonistic behavior or territorial displays to help expand our understanding of shark social dynamics.
Core behaviors documented include chasing, checking, following, parallel swimming, piggy backing, pectoral dropping, dorsal arching, jaw gaping, gill popping.
