In Primorye, where last week, the cerebral sharks crippled two vacationers, amateur fishermen caught a two-meter shark. The sea predator was caught in the Mirror Bay on Monday.
"The size of the shark is 2.2 meters. The three of them were barely dragged into the boat," the signature of the photographs published by the Primorye -24 news agency said.
Marine animals who have already paid attention to the messages of bloggers, note that in the photo there is a herring shark, which, in their opinion, very rarely attacks people. Earlier, ichthyologists suspected that people in Primorye were attacked by two predators of different species - a white shark and a shark -Mako .
According to the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Pacific herring shark is found on the entire coast of Primorye. It reaches a length of 3.6 m and a mass of more than 300 kg. The usual length in catches is 1.5-2.5 m. Active sea predator. Many fishing species of fish - herring, polish, cod, struts, as well as cephalopods of mollusks serve as food. Sometimes it is going to pack 20-30 individuals.
The representative of the operational headquarters, created in Primorye specifically for the search and capture of the Akuly-Ludoyed, told Interfax that information about the capture of the shark in the Kavalerovsky district did not come to them.
“Experts are now working in the south of Primorye, in the area of Cape Gamov and the island of Antipenko. Another fishing bot on Wednesday studied water near the islands of Zheltokhin and Stenin. The Mirror Bay is located on the east coast of the region - this is about 300 km from the scene of the first Akula attack in the Khasansky district,” the representative of the headquarters explained.
The increased interest in sharks in the Far East is explained by two tragic incidents: on August 17, a shark on the coast of the Khasansky district bit his hands to a 25-year-old man who defended his wife from her. The next day, another shark crippled a 16-year-old teenager at the Ostov Zheltukhin. The victim received serious damage, including ragged thigh wounds.
The Information Agency "Primorye-24" got a photo of the legs of the victim with the marks of shark teeth. "The nature of the wounds that the predator was inflicted on the guy - the most complicated. The tendons were cut almost all, the joint bag was completely torn, the knee cup is turned upside down. Fortunately, the main artery was not affected, and the doctors sewed the nerve. Three doctors operated for six hours - the head of the trauma department of the city clinical Hospital No. 2 Sergey Kolchanov, Surgeons Leonid Filipchenkov and Sergey Dubovy, ”the agency reports.
"Four types of dangerous sharks swim with warming in the water of the Primorye: white, maco, a shark-one and one of the gray sharks, the size of which reaches 5 meters. The phenomenon of their swim is as natural as the coming of the summer. And there is no point in exterminating these sharks, just as there is no point in exterminating tigers, bearings, encephalitis ticks, from which people die More than from sharks, ”the leading agency told the leading researcher at the Laboratory of Ichtiology of the Institute of Biology of the Sea named after A.V. Zhirmunsky, Doctor of Biological Sciences Vladimir Dolganov, who has been sharks for more than 30 years.
Dolganov determined the teenager's bites on the wake of bites on the feet of the teenager, which was crippled by his shark Mako.
Specialists on Tuesday brought into the sea several fishing seineers who will engage in the bar of the shark. A specially created operational headquarters is engaged in an incident in the Khasansky district. It includes representatives of the administration of the Primorsky Territory, scientists, experts of the Ministry of Emergencies and other law enforcement agencies.
“There is a chance to catch such a shark, but only with special smooth nets. Specialists discussed the option with tiers, but they are caught only by small and medium sharks, and then the middle predators break out. They catch the sharks with the help of smooth networks, they are twisted and immobilized, then suffocate and die. It will never be known whether the predator that bit people, caught, caught it Fishermen, ”Dolganov said.
