HALIFAX—The Ocearch research team came to Nova Scotia this fall on a hunch.

Hal, a 13-foot great white shark, is found off the coast of Nova Scotia on Sept. 29, 2018. ( R.Snow / THE CANADIAN PRESS )The team hoped to capture and tag one shark on their first Nova Scotia foray. Three of the newly tagged sharks, males Nova and Hal and female Luna, were named for Nova Scotia, Halifax and Lunenberg, N.S., respectively.
