World- first method of extracting semen from male leopard sharks in the wild has been pioneered by researchers off the South East Queensland coast.

The Great Australian Stegostoma Semen Expedition is also designed to increase the genetic diversity of the Indo-Pacific leopard shark, currently categorized as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species .

Dr. Christine Dudgeon of the University of the Sunshine Coast hopes the technique will be a game-changer for international projects aiming to replenish the species globally.
