Minke whale was found dead in a net near Uljin, Gyeongbuk.

According to the Uljin Maritime Police Station on the 5th, at 5:52 am, the fishing boat H (9.77t), which was operating 15km southeast of Jukyeon Port, Uljin-gun, pulled up the net and found a mink whale killed by its tail wrapped around it.

Minke whales are 5.20 m long and 2.90 m around.

The Uljin police said that about 20 days after the minke whale died, corruption took place.

The Maritime Police determined that there were no traces of people deliberately caught using harpoons and spears, and issued a Whale Distribution Certificate.

Minke whales were traded for 33 million won at the Bamboo Cove.
