  abstract = {{B}ull sharks {C}archarhinus leucas are common along the coast of {R}eunion {I}sland ({S}outh-{W}est {I}ndian {O}cean) and were suspected to aggregate in the vicinity of an aquaculture farm in {S}aint-{P}aul {B}ay on the west coast. {I}n order to understand the behaviour and interaction of bull sharks near aquaculture cages at {S}aint-{P}aul {B}ay, we deployed an experimental unbaited stationary video camera. {F}rom 175 hours of recording during daylight hours from {M}arch to {A}pril 2012, eight individual female bull sharks (seven adults and one immature) were identified based on their natural markings. {T}hese sharks were resighted between 3 and 45 times. {R}esidency analysis revealed site attachment under the aquaculture cages for at least three individuals over the course of the study. {R}ecorded behaviours included intraspecific social interactions such as synchronised swimming. {S}ocial interactions and relatively strong paired associations for two pairs of females suggest some level of sociality among bull sharks around {R}eunion {I}sland. {O}verall, our results demonstrate the utility of unbaited video systems to monitor the behaviour of adult coastal sharks.},
