The shark spotted by several bathers yesterday was found at midday today around 20 metres from San Javier's Villamorena Beach in La Manga.
Civil Protection officers, a vet and two marine biologists have captured the 1.5-2 metre long Tiger shark and will examine it before deciding what to do with it. If it is found to be in good health, it will be taken to deeper waters and released.
A number of beaches closed to bathers following initial sightings of the shark yesterday, were reopened at around 2pm this afternoon once it had been captured.
The archive photo is of a shark captured recently in Tarragona which subsequently died at Barcelona Aquarium. It had swallowed two large fish hooks, one of which was caught in its throat.
