Sipadan - Alex's photos

Wah, after almost one year then only got Alex's photos. haha.... but I've delayed posting for around a month, as the earthquake disrupted the internet. Singapore's line recovered quite fast. But my Malaysia line had been extremely slow for many weeks and wasn't able to log on to blogger. Now, finally.

I am posting only a few photos from Alex's. See here at photobucket :Alex's photos for all the photos.

Another shark catch... I believe this is still a baby or juvenile whale shark.... So sad.... Why do they always swim into fishermen's net....

(吉隆坡訊）龍引吳亞良的拖网漁船週日（12日）早出海捕魚，不但大唱豐收，還意外捕獲一尾逾1噸重的貓鯊，引起轟動。

吳亞良（49歲）於週日清晨6 時許帶著2 名員工到馬六甲海峽公海去捕魚，上午9 時許，即意外捕獲該尾龐然大物之“貓鯊”。


吳亞良拖网漁船於中午12時返回龍引碼頭時，整個碼頭已經擠滿聞訊而來的村民，大家爭先恐後，都來爭睹該“貓鯊”之盧山真面目。

這尾“貓鯊”長20呎，估計有1 噸重，吳氏動用了十余人之力加上升吊器，竟無法將它拉上岸，最后唯有動用挖泥机，才成功將它拉上岸。

據吳亞良表示，他從事捕魚業已有30年，還是第一次看到這麼大的貓鯊。（星洲互動‧2006/11/13）

Reef ball?

Saw these downstairs of my block. They were in the middle of some construction work. One day suddenly I saw these there.

They look exactly like the reef balls we see underwater don't they? I wonder what is it for? Can't be that they really are making reef balls.. cos they are in the middle of some construction work. But if they are not reef balls, if they are made for construction purpose, what is it for??

Perhaps it really is for construction purpose and the person who invented reef balls got the idea from here.

What a beautiful shark... died.. so sad..

Oh my God, the fisherman have captured a thresher shark! The beautiful thresher shark... what a shame..................

（亞羅士打訊）吉打港口漁民出海時捕獲一條長約10尺，重30多公斤的鯊魚。漁民趙時新用驚奇地說，漁民一般只見過100公斤重的魚，尾巴長1尺至1尺半，但這條鯊魚只有30多公斤重，尾巴和魚鰓卻有4尺半和20多吋長。

這條罕見的鯊魚，是進江漁行東主蕭清獅的拖網漁船所捕獲的，並於週二早上10點多載返吉打港口。（光明日報‧2006/10/03）
