THE STRANDING Circle swallowed a longline hook and then became entangled in the line, nearly severing her flipper.  She then became entangled in a pound net making it very difficult for her to breathe.
  
THE TREATMENT Dr. Craig Harms removed the hook and disentangled the line around her flipper.  State Biologist Wendy Cluse transported Circle to the KBSTRRC.
She is receiving antibiotics by injection.
