Biggest Fish in the Sea

Season 6 Episode 602 | 26m 54s | CC

Each summer, the world’s largest known aggregation of whale sharks occurs just off the coast of Cancun, Mexico, attracting tourists and scientists alike. Hundreds of these gentle giants come to the area to feed on plankton, giving experts the opportunity to learn more about the largest fish in the sea.

Major funding for this program was provided by the Batchelor Foundation, encouraging people to preserve and protect America’s underwater resources. Additional funding was provided by Diver’s Direct/Emocean Club, inspiring the pursuit of tropical adventures and scuba diving; and by the Do Unto Others Trust. Distributed by American Public Television.
