TAii. Iea Judse Sir Adrian Cur- loihr kUks wmo I note lewis, patron of the Surf rapes tMermitage, A device which repels sharks by sending sound signals from transmitters on the sea bed has been developed by an Australian marine researcher. Mr Theo Brown. 40. started research into an effective shark repellent after seeing a 13-year-old boy fatally attacked by a shark in Middle Harbour in I960.

After carefully examining the circumstances he decided the boy's noise and splashing had been the reason for the attack. "If sound played such an important role in attracting sharks then I thought the procedure could perhaps be reversed." he said yesterday. So far Mr Brown has developed signals that repel only certain species of man-eating sharks. "Now we have to refine the signal patterns so that the finished sound will effectively repel man-eaters world-wide," he said. Life Saving Association, krf eonnei, were grown on said at the reception that Mr Brown's device was "on the threshold of some water pressure, protect crash survivors.

Mr Brown has also developed sounds to attract schools of fish, but still does not know how to repel them. He would not disclose what sounds the transducers actually made as he feared commercial use of the method could "get into the wrong hands." "I would like to see the United Nations apply controls to govern the application of the sonic approach to fisheries," he said. Mr Brown, who is a marine research associate for the Institute of Medical Research of French Polynesia, said he had not been able to get Federal or Stale support for his project since he started his research 13 years ago. "What hit hardest was that the French Government in Polynesia was prepared to check out my project," he said. roe eastern tne of tne vaOe.

Ultimately it could be built into the fuselages of planes and, activated by Drofnasavacana of tjaa nwatl 100 methods for repelling sharks.

On weekends or holidays, in major cities around the world, you can receive an emergency refund of up to $100.00 U.S. (or equivalent) to tide you over until a full refund can be arranged.
