"I wouldn't recommend holding a swim meet in known shark attack areas," Hammerschlag deadpanned, adding that boating, oil drilling and other human marine activities should be moved away from the regions for the sake of human and shark safety.

Steven Le Comber, an expert on geographic profiling at the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London, believes the investigative technique "is an interesting way to study patterns of animal foraging, and especially predation."

He concluded, "Shark hunting patterns are extremely difficult to study and the work here will have important implications for our understanding of the ways in which predators hunt their prey."
