Those of you who have been following Pete Thomas' great white shark updates may want to check out a new post from Veronique de Turenne at LA Now. Here's a taste:

Remember the young great white shark caught by local fishermen and put into the floating pen last week outside Paradise Cove in Malibu? Biologists released him Sunday after deciding he wouldn't be a good candidate to live for a few months in the Outer Bay exhibit of the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

There's lots more about sharks captured for study from Ken Peterson of the Monterey Bay Aquarium included in the full post.
