Hunt for biggest fish
By MATHIESON
DARWIN
Four little ships, no bigger. than North East Coast cables, are slowly cruising across the Irish Sea in search of the big- gest fish in the world....
They arc not tunny. The Ashermen are hoping to kill something four times, bigger-n monster known na the basking shark, which reaches a length of 40 feet, and often weighs four or Ave tons.
I' have harpooned basking shark myself, I have seen them hauled up on the beach in the Hebrides, and by comparing photographs I can say categori- cally that if there was a Loch Ness Monster, it was one of these fish.'
Two fishing companies, one in Howth, outside Dublin, and the other at Cambeltown, In Argyll- shire, are hunting basking shark this year for their oll (nearly a ion of it), their skin (which re- sembles reptile hide).
Quite harmless.
Yet nobody knows where the baskers come from. They are thought to winter the depths of the South
Atlantic, April Ands them cruising in the Irish Sea; by May they are frightening holiday makers in the Firth of Clyder and thereafter they no oft on a tour of the Hebrides unth September.
But despite their huge gaping mouths and vast length baskers are quite harmless, and feed on the chopped salad diet of the herring-plankton. They, sleve it into their mouths through stringy gill-strainers like the stout teeth of a comb.

One 30-footer was caught after a 10-hour chase through the night with the lsh towing the craft along at the end of a 10-fathom line: another "sounded" like a stricken whale, wagged its tail the air, and threw the harpoon back into the pursuing boat, where it virtually scalped a member of the crew.
