SURPRISE GUEST: sevengill shark found in Irish waters
Anne Lucey
Department of the Marine officer Kevin Flannery examines the rare sevengill, or cow shark, found in Irish waters this week. He believes the fish could be an outrider for the great white shark, which feeds off the sevengill.
An aggressive shark normally found in the Pacific or off the warm waters of Africa at this time of year has been caught in the nets of a Kerry fishing vessel off Fastnet Rock.
The sevengill, or cow shark, was brought up on Tuesday morning in the nets of the HollyB, owned by John O'Donnell of Cloghane, and it was presented to a rare fish expert attached to the Mara Beo aquarium in An Daingean.
