350kg fish caught in Ha Tinh
(VOV) - A local fisherman on October 31 netted a giant fish near a beach of Ky Loi commune, Ky Anh district, Ha Tinh province.
The fish, weighing approximately 350kg and 4.5m in length, looks like a shark species with eye-catching white dots on its body.
Some local elderly people believed the fish belongs to a whale shark, others said this is a strange species of fish that swam ashore 50 years ago.
In August, a local fisherman in Nghe An province also caught a 800-kg whale shark in the waters, about 140 nautical miles off the central coast.
He donated the giant fish to the Vietnam National Museum of Nature for research purposes.
