A huge stingray got trapped in a fisherman's fishnet in the coastal barangay of Calaparan, Arevalo district. By the time the stingray was found over the weekend, it was already dead. The stingray weighed almost 200 kilos. Around 10 men had to drag it to shore. Stingrays are common in shallow coastal tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world.
