Blind Cod Nets Life in an Aquarium
From Times Wire Reports
A blind cod was caught off western Norway for the 40th and final time by a kindhearted Norwegian fisherman who sent him to retire in a private pool in an aquarium.
“I caught him this morning. He was taken off in a tank in a van with his very own oxygen supply,” Harald Hauso, 69, said.
“I hope he survives--he looked a bit travel sick,” he added.
The cod, which first blundered into Hauso’s nets in March, has been back almost every week.
The fish weighs between 4.4 and 6.6 pounds and is blind in both eyes.
