She said that after ‘more than an hour of shark activity around the boat, the waters at the front of the boat had been quiet for five ‘minates. ‘Next thing I know; I hear a loud splash and see a white shark jump out of the water directly over the men ‘who were throwing sardines into the sea!” ‘Schroder pulled her colleague to safety before the shark, ‘weighing about 500 kg.

Finally, they used ropes to pull it through the harbour and back out to sea. The ropes were then removed. and the animal wam away. Gennari said it was the fist time he had heard of a great white shark jumping onto a research boat. He guessed that the animal had jumped about three metres out of the An heahle to land on the boat.
