This fish, believed to be a small blue shark, was caught by a diver off Salina this morning.

It was brought ashore at about 7.30 a.m. by a diver who had been diving for octopus. 

He told people on the beach that the shark flashed past him and he fired a harpoon.

Blue sharks are not considered an aggressive species and rarely attack humans. They feed mostly on squid and octopus.
