A DECOMPOSING body of a two-meter hump-back whale weighing about 200 kilograms was found at a beach in Koh Samui and is believed to be the 17th fatality thus far this year.
Samui Rescue Foundation volunteers found the dead whale on Aug. 5 at Ao Lipa Noi, Moo 3, Tambon Lipa Noi, Koh Samui.
International tourists gathered around the whale as Mr. Chamnan Meedet, a volunteer of the foundation, dragged its body to the shore.
Mr. Phithak Chancharoen, Koh Samui fisheries officer, who went to the site along with reporters, said the whale appeared to have been dead for 10 days before it was found.
He said the whale had so many wounds around its body. Its belly was cut open and its internal organs were already coming out, he added.
Sample tissues were taken from the dead whale which will be examined at the Institute of Marine Science in Chumphon.
Officials said Koh Samui and the nearby Koh Phangan are home to humpback whales and dolphins.
Mr. Phithak asked local fishermen to be more cautious in laying trawl to avoid catching whales and dolphins whose numbers are steadily declining.
If they accidentally catch a whale, Mr. Phithak said, fisher-men should release it back to the sea.
Volunteers buried the dead whale at the shore.

Det er ikke sikkert, sank. For med en længde på 2m. kan vægten godt passe.
- Men en "hump-back whale"??- Nix. "Hump-back whales" er bardehvaler, og kan blive over 30T i vægt (pukkelhvaler-blåhvaler). Derimod har denne flotte "bisser" som en delfinart. Det kan også passe med at det er den 17. indtil videre i år.
PS. Der er jo også noget der hedder "Hump-back dolphin", - mon ikke det er sådan en??
