educative-The animal in the video is a giant ray, most likely a giant oceanic manta ray (Manta birostris) or a very large stingray species.Such huge rays are caught accidentally in large-scale trawl or net fisheries in places like the Indian Ocean, South China Sea, and coastal Southeast Asia. They’re also found in parts of Africa’s east coast (including Kenya and Tanzania), but industrial catches like this are more often reported from Asia.Generally stingrays are not dangerous they are not aggressive. The danger comes if they feel threatened stingrays have a venomous barb on their tail that can cause serious injury, and in rare cases even death (like the famous case of Steve Irwin). But manta rays (the giant kind) actually don’t have stingers and are harmless filter feeders.Sometimes, if caught accidentally (bycatch), the ray may be thrown back, but often when it’s already on deck and injured, it ends up being kept for meat, cartilage, or gill plates (sold in some Asian markets). In many places, manta rays are now protected, so legally they should be released, but in practice it depends on the country and the crew. - @barakallahufeek
