The Aquarium Vet Shark Bag II

(as designed by Dr. Rob Jones)
A revolutionary device to help catch Sharks under water with minimal stress.

About the TAV Shark Bag

In a concerted effort to substantially reduce the stress levels during the process of catching sharks, Aquarium Vet Rob Jones has designed ‘The Aquarium Vet Shark Bag’.

This device comprises of a see-through material which is barely visible to the shark. When it is caught inside it hardly realises and thus does not experience any major stress.

Divers are then able to swim the device to the surface the shark can be inspected and treated.

In case a shark needs to be relocated from the pool, we have implemented a zipper which is positioned 1/4 (one quarter) from the front.

The front of the Shark Bag should slide into the back of our Shark Carrier, and after undoing the zipper, the shark can smoothly slide into the carrier for transportation.

This revolutionary device has been in use since 2009, and Rob himself has caught a variety of species such as Sand Tiger Sharks, Sandbars, Seven Gills and many more.

1-2-1 products and devices should only be used by trained professionals.

Testimonials

Andrew Nerness – Displays Curator @ Sealife Orlando

“SEA LIFE Orlando purchased 2 different sized TAV Shark Bag’s. The build quality and ease of use made this piece of equipment an excellent choice for capturing, restraining, and transporting sharks both safely and effectively. These bags are not only as a great way to protect a shark from harming itself during capture procedures, but more importantly to provide excellent protection for staff members as they transport the animal.”
