Dead rare shark caught in net
By M. SIVANANTHA SHARMA
BUTTERWORTH: Four fishermen on a deepsea fishing trip found a dead whale shark measuring 5.36m in their net 50 nautical miles off the coast.
The fishermen, from Kuala Muda near here, made the discovery at 1am yesterday.
Salleh Hussin, 48, said they tried to release the one-tonne creature back into the sea after realising that it was dead but failed to do so as it was too heavy.
