[quote=GUEST66162,410081]FYI the number of sharks harvested by man each year is of the order of 100 million, with an estimated 73 million of them taken for their fins alone. Also, those fish and chips in the UK often contain shark too these days. Since the crash in cod, other fish have become the mainstays including orange roughy and dogfish (a member of the shark family). For anyone tuning into this discussion wanting to know more or how they can help to influence a change in our attitude towards sharks, take a look at www.hksharkfoundation.org or find the HK Shark Foundation on Facebook. We are working hard on this issue with the thinking that if we can make a difference here, in possibly the most important trading hub for sharks anywhere, then progress must be possible everywhere.
