Another shark attack has been reported in Australia only two weeks after an 18-year-old man was killed by a shark while spearfishing on the Great Barrier Reef off Australia’s east coast, according to the The Associated Press.

17-year-old Jay Muscat has reportedly died after being bitten on the leg by a shark while spearfishing with his friend Matt Pullella at a fishing spot known as Three Stripes, according to The Guardian.

Authorities in Western Australia are reportedly continuing their hunt for a great white shark that’s believed to be responsible for the death of the teenager on Monday. The Department of Fisheries reportedly deployed drumlines in the water around Cheyennes beach on Tuesday morning after efforts to catch a great white on Monday failed.

The department’s acting director-general Dr Rick Fletcher reportedly stated that it was possible Pullella had fatally injured the shark with his speargun and that any shark that fit the description would be killed.

“If they [fisheries staff] catch a shark that’s of similar species and similar length to that one likely to be in the attack, then it will be killed,” stated Fletcher.

He added, “Is most cases you probably can’t identity it specifically but what we will be doing is any shark that fits within the serious threat policy, it will be disposed of as per the policy.”

Although sharks are common off Australia’s beaches, fatal attacks like this recent one are reportedly rare. The country has reportedly averaged fewer than two deadly attacks per year in recent decades.
