Abstract
On 13 December, 1990, one whale shark (juvenile, female) weighing 900 kg was captured by a 53 feet purse-seiner 11 km off Malpe at depth 36 m around 1000 hrs and landed at the Fisheries Harbour. Documentation of the occurence of this species assist in understanding the habits and natural history of this rare species, which has been used as an 'indicator species' of their forage resources such as sardines and anchovies in the neritic realm..
