Original Note:
Whale Sharks do not feed on fish as large as the ones in the net. They are filter feeders that mainly eat minute organisms like krill, phytoplankton, and fish larvae. The shark is most likely not feeding on the fish, but the algae on the net. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0944200610000486
