Shark Education

Shark fins are the removal and retention of shark fin and the treatment of carcasses in the sea. Even if a shark is thrown back into the water, it is usually still alive. You can not swim, the shark slowly sinks to the bottom, you can live and eat other fish

The shark fin is done in the sea, so fishermen have only fish transport. Shark meat is considered worthless, so it is not worth shipping big sharks to the market.

Shark fin is a longline fishery, the most important cause of shark population decline worldwide

Due to increased demand for shark fin (shark's fin soup and traditional treatment), improvement of fishery technology, improvement of market economic situation, the number of shark fin is increasing in the past ten years

Disappearance and destruction of shark populations all over the world. Experts estimate that most of the sharks will be lost for longline fishery within 10 years.

Unsustainable fishing The lack of harvesting and selection of large numbers of sharks will make shark populations consume more quickly than shark reproductive capacity supplements populations.

Local waters are invaded by large industrial foreign fishing vessels that threaten traditional sustainable fisheries

Prevent the collection of species-specific data essential for the monitoring of catch and implementation of sustainable fisheries management

All countries with coastlines will be in charge of the laws and regulations concerning fishing in that area.

Some countries have shark fins. Many prescribed fins must reach 5% of the weight of ship's corpse on board. There are only a few countries that require sharks to arrive at the harbor with fins

According to the IUCN Shark Expert Panel, the easiest way to implement a ban is to request the dead body of a shark to attach a fin. Therefore, it is illegal to have a fin on board by yourself.

Shark fin is in violation of Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations Responsible Fisheries Code of Conduct

Shark fin is inconsistent with international plan for the protection and management of sharks of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization

The United Nations Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES) includes the whale shark, the sunbathing shark, the white shark, which may be threatened without trading restrictions. By today, 169 countries have agreed to be bound by the CITES Act

Lamniformes: They are often called salmon sharks. They include goblins sharks, basking sharks, giant sharks, long tail sharks, short fins and long fin sharks, and wonderful white sharks. They are known for breeding their big baboon and eggs. Lamniformes also includes extinct Grand Shark (Carcharodon megalodon). The shark's teeth are not fixed directly to the chin, but are embedded in the gums and are constantly exchanged throughout their lifetime. Multiple rows of replacement teeth grow in the inner groove of the crucible and move steadily forward compared to the conveyor belt; some sharks lose more than 30,000 teeth in their lifetime. The tooth replacement frequency is from 8 to 10 days to several months. In most species, teeth are exchanged one at a time, not simultaneously changing the entire row at the same time. This can be seen in Cookie shark.

Like all sharks, huge sharks replace their teeth as they grow or as teeth wear or damage. The new tooth continues to grow in the shark mouth groove and the skin acts as a "conveyor belt" to advance the tooth to a new position. Young sharks are more likely to change their teeth than older sharks. Unfortunately our actual data on the exchange rate of modern shark teeth is relatively small, not to mention prehistoric sharks. However, it is safe to assume that an adult 's huge shark swallows thousands of teeth during its lifetime.
