We Goans are privileged to have the N.I.O. in Dona Paula, Goa and should work in tandem with their efforts to preserve / conserve the environment and marine life. Trawler owners should remember that they owe this to Nature, if not to humanity and should act sensibly in the future. I hope the buried fish are still retrievable, for a possible investigation by the concerned local authorities! K.

The fish have two fins and no tail, and were circular in shape. Trawler owners and fishermen were unable to identify the fish. Traders refused to buy the rare fish for export purposes, prompting the trawler owner Michael D'Souza to take the fish to the market for local sale. There too, no one was prepared to buy the fish, being unsure if they were edible or not. Left with no alternative, the fishermen decided to bury the fish at the seashore. (H)
