One of the whale sharks caught in Cuddalore on Thursday.
CUDDALORE:
Fishermen of the Cuddalore Old Town area got prize catch in the form of whale sharks on Thursday. Two such sharks were caught in their nets off the port area in the early hours of Thursday, while two others broke loose by snapping the nets. The trawlers had gone for deep-sea fishing, the fishermen said, adding that they caught the whale sharks after a couple of years. 400 to 500 kg Each shark weighed 400 to 500 kg and took 15 fishermen to be loaded on to a truck. The fishermen jettisoned other smaller catches to make room for the prize catch in the trawlers. Whale sharks are locally known as “paal sura.” They are sought for the medicinal properties of their fins, sources said. Officials of the Fisheries Department said that whale sharks were found off the Cuddalore coast, but rarely caught in nets.
