Shark eats another shark in horrific accident at aquarium

A shark has been filmed eating another shark at an aquarium in South Korea.

Shark attacks out at sea are scary enough, but the chances of actually witnessing one inside an aquarium are very low.

This is because the so-called 'man eaters' aren't usually about that cannibalism life.

But when it comes to defending their territory, things can indeed get ugly.

If you have a strong stomach, watch below to see a shark midway through devouring another shark inside a South Korea aquarium:

Dubbed as a 'turf war', the eight-year-old female sand tiger shark was caught on camera swallowing up a much smaller shark at the Coex Aquarium in Seoul, South Korea, back in 2016.

But don't let the age fool you, as this specific shark was 2.2m (7.2ft) long, preying on a five-year-old male banded houndshark, which measured in at 1.2m (3.9ft).

"Sharks have their own territory. However, sometimes when they bump against each other, they bite out of astonishment," Coex Aquarium PR manager Oh Tae-youp said.

"I think the shark swallowed the whole body, because they usually eat it all when they bite the head part."

However, the aquarium later reported that the shark tail was expected to stay in its mouth for about four to five days because it wouldn't be able to digest the creature all in one go.

Commenting on the harrowing clip, one viewer said: "Those poor fish are having a turf war on a very small amount of territory. The aquarium shouldn't overcrowd the pool."

"No s**t it was a turf war. There's not enough turf' for all those sharks," a second agreed.

"Turf war, much like inner city thugs," another quipped.

While sharks are thought to be the 'kings of the ocean', this definitely isn't the case as a group of fishermen once captured the moment a blacknose shark got devoured by a huge sea creature.

Captain John Brossard was out sailing with his crew off the coast of Goodland, Florida when they managed to hook a blacknose shark.

Brossard later shared some details about the jaw-dropping moment, saying: "Basically we were shark fishing when all of a sudden two or three goliath groupers started hanging out under the boat waiting for our catch to come in.

"We were just thinking 'wow, unbelievable! Something is going to eat a shark and it's bigger than a shark.'

"We were very surprised. Basically it ate the shark, and took down and broke the line. We were using a 50-pound test line and that was not enough."

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
