Another whale gets caught in Qld nets

A WHALE has been freed from shark nets off the Gold Coast, in Queensland's fifth entanglement this migration season.

The five-metre male calf became entangled off Tallebudgera Beach on Tuesday afternoon.

Shark Control Program acting manager Mark Saul, from the Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol, said the whale's mother waited nearby as rescuers released the calf.

"Throughout the release the whale was relatively calm," Mr Saul said.

"While the sea conditions were a bit rough, the release team was able to quickly and safely release the animal."

He said the pair were last seen swimming east at a fast pace.

This is the fifth whale this migration season to be caught in shark nets off Queensland.

Of these entanglements, all the whales have been successfully freed.

More than 18,000 whales are making their way south for the end of the migration season.
