NO TARGET SPECIES CAUGHT IN SHARK NET TRIAL

An endangered loggerhead turtle and two hammerhead sharks are the latest casualties in the north coast shark net trial.

The DPI has released its third by-catch report, which revealed not one of the 16 dead marine animals found in the nets was a target species.

Almost half of the 34 marine animals caught in the third month of the trial were found dead.

The six-month trial continues.
