Theory
The high concentration of whale sharks in the south carribean last summer was due to a drop in the population of krill in the north carribean due to direct and indirect effects of the BP oil spill including a lowerred oxygen level due to the microbes that supposedly cleaned up all the oil. I wouldn’t be suprised if this drastically alters the population levels in the coming years. Either increasing due to proximity and therefore increased procreation, or decreasing due to lack of food supply.
