Worlds Biggest Giant Catfish killed or was it actually a Whale Shark?

Worlds Biggest Giant Catfish killed or was it actually a Whale Shark? This has been circulating as a giant catfish when its actually the worlds largest fish aka the whale shark. The Whale Shark is listed a Vulnerable on the Red List by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The IUCN notes commercial fishing is the primary cause of population depletion via "unregulated and unsustainable fisheries to supply international trade demands for shark fins, liver oil (used to waterproof wooden boats), skins, and meat" (per WWF). This largest fish species can reach a length of 18 meters (59 feet), weigh 20+ tons, and may live 100 to 150 years. The Whale Shark is far-ranging, traveling thousands of kilometers, and is found worldwide in tropical and temperate waters (see map below). This gentle giant feeds on zooplankton and is known as a "filter feeder" which sieves food plus feeds on small crustaceans and schooling fishes. As part of this filter feeding, a Whale Shark may process 6,000 liters of water an hour through its gills. Although commercial fishing has depleted populations worldwide, a recent drop in Whale Shark sightings in East Africa is of concern. In response, the East African Whale Shark Trust is tagging Whale Sharks for monitoring. The species is not protected under Kenyan law. Demand for the Whale Sharks' liver for waterproofing wooden boats is taking a toll on the species in Kenya. The East African Whale Shark Trust has begun an education effort in schools by organizing wildlife clubs to promote safeguarding the Whale Shark Sharks are endangered because of threats that are the result of human activities including shark finning and getting caught in fishing gear. These are apex predators (at the top of the food chain) and play an important role in the health of the oceans. Without them, the entire food chain can be affected, negatively impacting the entire ecosystem. Sharks are long-lived, mature late, and produce few young making them especially vulnerable to exploitation. Thanks for watching. Leave your comments down below.

Sun + sport must be the weekly focus. Making the world a better place for humanity, the animals and the environment must be the life focus. Here are some more tips from Durianrider & Freelee One MUST get consistent early nights to ensure success on a healthy weight loss lifestyle. More early nights means a healthier and faster metabolism + you will have greater nerve energy for the next day as your organs get the rest they need to function healthfully. High carb low fat fruit based lifestyles work wonders for long term weight loss transformations. Ive NEVER seen a fat fruit or rice muncher EVER. People sneak in fat and wonder why they get fat. Im talking FAT FAT not skinny fat cos someone doesnt move their body and they wonder why they dont have a tight stomach.

Weight loss transformation WILL happen when you do the right things. High carb, low fat, early nights, consistent hydration etc. Participate in your fav activities to build the toned body that you want. Its easy to lose weight but to build a toned body you MUST MOVE IT! :) AND eat enough carb calories so that the active adventure filled lifestyle is EASY to maintain!! So many people make the mistake of not eating enough carb calories DAILY!! Thats like wanting to be a big spender on 5$ a day! CHOW DOWN THE CARB CALORIES REGARDLESS OF YOUR WEIGHT!! My recommendations for anyone wanting to get fit + stay fit + gain muscle + burn fat is 10g of carbs per kg of bodyweight per day MINIMUM (even on days off) and 1g of carbs per kg of bodyweight per hour when you're out training. I personally drink enough water so Im pizz'n at least 10 times a day CLEAR and a few times a night. If my urine is yellow or straw, I just knock back a quart and Im good to go. Raw food diet vegan high carb low fat style based on fruit keeps you slim naturally. How to get a flat stomach, how to lose weight with raw foods.how to start a raw food diet? all these questions and more answered by Durianrider & Freelee on our channels.

1. Poor fish😢

3. So cool man
4. I like my whale deep fried!!!
5. Hahah this guy is awesome
6. Hell it has not been that long ago that we first discovered this magnificent fish, so to say it is on the vulnerable list does not even do this justice. Humans can manage the seas bounty unless they do like the low life scum from Japan that kill thousands of whales and dolphins every year for food and profit and claim it is for research. For that matter the Japanese are the destroyers of ocean habitats across all food supplies. So don't be so critical of people who are killing because they genuinely need to feed their people. Focus your attacks on companies and countries like Japan that not only allow it, they issue the license to kill!
7. What...are people supposed to starve? Then the earth would be over populated with animals! Humans were made to be MEAT EATERS!!!!!!!!
8. god forbid people are trying to eat....i dont see nothing wrong with it
9. Fucking foreigners. Black fuckers killing these creatures of beauty...
10. The issue is that we do not eat everything we kill. We use animals for all kinds of purposes that have nothing to do with food. We are the only species on the planet that does this. Other species do not kill just to kill, they do not poison the planet, do not poison the air. If we only killed what we needed to survive and did not destroy the ecosystem it would be natural. There is nothing natural about what humans are doing to the planet, there would be no need to repopulate if not for us.
11. We are the pest.
12. you should stop making videos
13. You forget we are the cause of so many species deaths it's ridiculous. We have essentially crushed the natural scale. In nature, when an animal eliminates most of their prey, they begin to die out and the prey begins to re-populate. When the prey has repopulated the predator population begins to grow again. There is a sort of natural balance. We do not obey this law of nature and essentially eat everything without our population reducing at all. We're kind of like the cancer of earth.
14. it's a whale shark
15. Scummy water, scummy people. That area of the world should be quarantined until they evolve some more.
