Recently animal-borne accelerometers have been used to record the pitch angle of aquatic animals during swimming. When evaluating pitch angle it is necessary to consider a discrepancy between the angle of an accelerometer and the long axis of an animal. In this study we attached accelerometers to 17 free-ranging scalloped hammerhead shark Sphyrna lewini pups from Kaneohe Bay Hawaii. Although there are methods to calibrate attachment angles of accelerometers we confirmed that previous methods were not applicable for hammerhead pups. According to raw data some sharks ascended with a negative angle which differs from tank observations of captive sharks. In turn we developed a new method to account for this discrepancy in swimming sharks by estimating the attachment angle from the relationship .
