Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long, 1-tonshark by chance when they were fishing in sea water 1,000 me- tres deep near the beach. Police temporarily (暂时的) protected the shark while oceanographers decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection. Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection. The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo.
