Fisherman catched a depth charge

I am confused. And the end it says that it was "detonated". In the very next sentence it says that it was "taken out to sea and placed under 27 metres of water".
 
The Royal Navy EOD guys often will put something like this on the seabed, place an exclusion zone around it and then detonate it.
 
The depth of water provides sufficient tamping for any fragments of the container.
