The above fisherman’s name is Cai Chengzh . When asked what he would do with his “spoils”, Mr. Chengzh honestly said: “I hope to sell it for about 10,000-20,000 Yuan”.
The whale shark that Mr. Chengzh caught.
According to marine biologists, the “sea monster” that Mr. Chengzh caught could be a whale shark. If correctly identified as a whale shark, Mr. Chengzh will not be allowed to sell it because according to Chinese law, whale sharks are on the list of animals that need to be protected.
Whale sharks are considered the gentlest species in the shark family. They often live deep in warm waters and only eat plankton.
In February 2012, fishermen in Karachi fishing port, Pakistan also discovered a whale shark over 12 meters long and weighing 6-7 tons.
It was towed into the Karachi fishing port after being found dead in the Arabian Sea 10 days ago.
The whale shark is about 4.5 meters long.
Sharks are rare animals and are not allowed to be sold in China.
