Professional Croatian Fisherman Catches a 50-kilo White Shark Rarely Seen in Croatian Waters
February 24th, 2008
Zagreb, February 24 (CP) – A professional fisherman from the town of Komiza on the Croatian island of Vis has managed to catch a 50-kilo white shark on Saturday.
This is not the first time such a shark that is not often seen in Croatian waters has been caught, as during NATO attacks on Serbia in 1999, when the US Six Fleet was roaming the Adriatic, another specimen was caught.
White sharks are not often spotted in Croatian waters and their numbers have been generally dwindling since their favourite pray, the bluefin tuna is nearly extinct in the Adriatic due to overfishing.
