I Reading
Line 1 Whale sharks are among the largest living fish in the world -- weighing up to
40,000 pounds and 40 feet in length. They are also so docile that humans often swim
with them without concern, snapping photographs of their incredible size.
Line 4 But it is exactly their enormous bulk that had an international commission
adopt restrictions protecting them from impacts associated with the international tuna
purse seine fishing in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO).
Commercial fishermen have known for some time that tuna, along with many
other species of fish, congregate around objects drifting on the ocean surface.
Line 9 Fishermen often build floating structures called FADs, or fish-aggregating devices, to
attract tuna to an area, allowing them to capitalize on this behavior. Using FADs
makes the job of finding and encircling the tuna in the purse seine nets much more
efficient.
Fishermen also learned that whale sharks are so large that they naturally attract
Line 13 tuna, much like a FAD. This led some fishermen to deploy nets around a whale shark
to capture tuna swimming beneath it. In many of the cases, the encircled whale shark
was also caught in the net and injured or died.
To protect whale sharks from this harm, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna
Commission (IATTC) adopted a resolution, by consensus, in 2013 prohibiting the
Line 20 placement of a purse seine net around whale sharks and requiring the release of whale
sharks unharmed in the event that they are inadvertently encircled by a net.
