Whale sharks are the largest form of fish and are on the list of vulnerable
species. We have developed a visualization technique to help marine
biologists explore blood samples taken from whale sharks and the different
bio-chemical compounds the samples contain. The visualization technique
models each sample as a set that may or may not contain the individual
compounds. Interactions on the samples show commonalities and differences as
well as patterns in compound presence. Biologists can use the visualization
to compare samples across days or weeks, find anomalies and trends resulting
from diet, and thus gain better insights into the health of the fish.
