Great white sharks of Australia

We will have the chance to visit the most important hot spot for great white sharks in the waters of South Australia, the Neptune Islands, located at the mouth of the Spencer Gulf. Alessandro De Maddalena describes the main biological features of the marine predator and how they are observed in their environment, both at the surface and at the bottom of the ocean.
