This story appeared in the Independent How do you make a shark mate? Play it Justin Timberlake
German scientists say sharks, long considered as just aquatic killing machines, apparently have feelings too and are more likely to mate if the right music is played to them.
The experiment, conducted by 10 Sea Life centres in Germany was launched because of a slowdown in the breeding of captive sharks in the country.
The aquariums mostly have sharks under 10 years old and so role models to show them how to mate are in short supply. Experts say they need older sharks to learn from or some artificial method of stirring their libidos such as hormone scent in the water.
James Last, Justin Timberlake and Salt-N-Pepa are among the artists who get the sharks in the mood for love beneath the waves but Britney Spears left them cold.
Nice story but I wonder what happens to the sharks if you play them the Jaws theme tune?
