There are fewer rude awakenings for a sleepy Pacific Sleeper Shark than to get hauled up in a net during a government fishing survey.  But for fish biologists, it’s an incredible opportunity to get a photo with the “big one!”  Ichthyology student Erin Loury poses with the unexpected catch while volunteering with the National Marine Fisheries Service groundfish survey as part of a partnership with MLML’s Pacific Shark Research Center.  Don’t worry, the shark was released alive – but probably a little grumpy.
