Abstract/Description: | A stray whale shark Rhincodon typus was caught accidentally from the Gulf of Mannar and was landed at Periyathalai on 27th November 1997. The sheirk measuring 5.93 m and weighing 2 tonnes (approximately) got entangled in the Paruvalai net of mesh size 12-15 cm operated at a depth of 30 m in the Manapad fishing ground during the very early hours (0015 hrs) of the day by a kattamaran. The shark was towed ashore with the help of the neighbouring crew members of a fibre-glass boat and three other Kattamarans and was landed at Periyathalai at 1130 hrs. Locally this shark is called as 'Uravi' or 'Ammuni uluvai'. For the whole day it was lying on the shore because of lack of demand. |
