Hawaii whale dies with fishing nets, plastic bags in stomach
The body of the 56-foot long, 120,000-pound animal was first noticed on a reef off Kauai on Friday. High tide brought it ashore on Saturday.
The whale’s stomach contained six hagfish traps, seven types of fishing net, two types of plastic bags, a light protector, fishing line and a float from a net. Researchers also found squid beaks, fish skeleton and remains of other prey in the whale’s stomach. Researchers found nothing wrong with other organs they examined. They collected samples to screen for disease and conduct other follow-up tests.
