Indeed the previous tags used in Domeier's work were of shorter duration and obviously nowhere near as sturdy as the SPOT tags used in "Shark Men." I certainly understand the need for longer-term studies using tags that do not fall off as easily. However, the methods used to affix them in "Shark Men" (and the attitude displayed by some of the "crew" on that show) bothered me greatly. I have heard that Domeier is no longer involved... probably out of desire to maintain his scientific integrity. He may have been the only one with a sincere scientific interest on the show.
I have to agree with you Dr. Bill, I mainly watch for the animals and scientific purpose, however the crew does annoy me a tag.
