Thai media caught up with a fisherman who landed a 15 kilogram bull shark on Saturday night at the popular Thai resort of Bang Saen in Chonburi. 

 

Thai social media suggested that swimmers at Bang Saen in the New Year holidays might be in danger.

 

Seri Limnao, 32, said that the shark got free from his line and to safeguard people there he used a hook that injured the stomach of the shark. 

 

He said that he could not let the shark go back into the sea as it would surely die after suffering such an injury.

So he decided to give parts of it to people in the area to eat as food. 

 

He said that the shark was caught on a long line with a cut fish as bait and was far out at sea.

 

He said that such creatures ate only other fish and would not represent a danger to tourists in the area.

Bull sharks are extremely dangerous to people and even a small one can do a lot of damage especially a small child .

absolutely 100% correct, they are aggressive and can grow to a significant size and "do" attack swimmers/bathers, it doesn't help that monks at some coastal temples are feeding them and attracting them into these areas - they do it to attract tourists to the temples - how cleaver is that

 

I see 2x quite large bull sharks in that photo - are they chumming the water to attract them in to catch ??????

Extremely agressive sharks, they , like most sharks, do not actually eat humans, but attack looking for food sources, Generally take and bite, (generally a large one) shake the person about and then let go, disliking (I am informed) the taste.

They prefer shallow coastal water, which means they can often come into contact with humans. Bull sharks are often considered to be the most dangerous sharks to humans because of their aggressive tendencies and ability to migrate up rivers. Quote from Google.

It does here. Just like builders here who tell you something wont look nice even though they are not designers

Even so called experts will try to tell you their limited opinion... had a plumber insisting a check valve was not required and would do nothing on my water system. You have to give up and do it yourself.....

Bull sharks are unusual because they can adapt readily to fresh water because they can adapt their process of osmogregulation.  The kidneys of bull sharks, (and to a lesser extent several other types of sharks) can be gradually adjusted to suit the salinity of the water they are in. When moved gradually into freshwater (perhaps by migrating from the ocean, to an estuary, and then upriver), bull sharks' kidney's remove less salt and more urea from the bloodstream through urination, essentially reversing the normal marine shark method of osmoregulation. This adaptation allows bull sharks to live entirely in estuaries or freshwater.
