Since it can’t case you haven’t heard, extinction lasts swim, the shark slowly sinks forever! toward the bottom where it may be eaten alive by other fish. Shark finning takes place at sea on boats so the fishers have only the fins to transport. Shark meat is low Don’t order shark fin soup!

Sharks maintain the for humans. Shark finning is the process of cutting off a shark’s Dynasty. The emperor created shark fin soup to display his wealth, President Bill Clinton. This act prohibited the process of shark finning in species below them in the ecosystem and serve as a health indicator for the fins while it is still alive and throwing the shark back into the power and generosity towards his guest.

What Is Shark Finning and Why Is It Harmful?
What is shark finning and why is it harmful? Shark finning is defined as the onboard removal of a shark’s fins and the discarding of the body at sea. This practice poses a significant threat to many shark stocks and to the health of marine ecosystems. It is also a threat to traditional fisheries and to food security in some low-income countries. A threat to sharks Tens of millions of sharks are finned every year. Once the shark has been discarded, the fins can be dried on deck, eliminating the need for freezer space. It is therefore inherently unsustainable, since it allows fishers to catch an almost unlimited number of sharks. This greatly increases the threat to sharks and, by removing large numbers of top predators from marine ecosystems, is likely to have dramatic and negative impacts on other species, including commercially-important species. Predictive modelling has shown that the removal of sharks from their ecosystems can have unpredictable and often devastating impacts on other species. Sharks are highly vulnerable to over-exploitation, owing to their slow growth, long gestation and low reproductive output. Over-exploited shark stocks can take years or even decades to recover. Some European shark fisheries that were closed fifty years ago remain so, as the populations have yet to recover. The threat of over-exploitation is exacerbated by the lengthy migrations undertaken by many shark species. Even if they are protected in one area, sharks can move into areas where they are not subject to protection. A threat to shark management Gathering and analysing catch data is the sine qua non of shark conservation.

Shark Fishing and the Fin Trade in Ghana: a Biting Review
Plenty of Fish in the Sea? Shark Fishing and the Fin Trade in Ghana: A Biting Review Max J. Gelber A Field Practicum Report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master of Sustainable Development Practice Degree at the University of Florida, in Gainesville, FL USA May 2018 Supervisory Committee: Dr. Paul Monaghan, Chair Dr. Renata Serra, Member Men hauling in their shark catch in Shama, Ghana. (Author’s photo, 2017) Acknowledgements This project was supported through generous funding from UF’s Center for African Studies, Center for Latin American Studies, and Master of Sustainable Development Practice (MDP) program. I would like to thank my committee members, Dr. Paul Monaghan and Dr. Renata Serra, and the MDP program’s administration, Dr. Glenn Galloway and Dr. Andrew Noss, for their invaluable guidance and support over the past two years. Through thick and thin, these professors have remained by my side, encouraging me to continue to achieve as a lifelong learner; for this, I am forever gracious. I would also like to thank Mr. Samuel Kofi Darkwa (Ph.D student in Political Science at West Virginia University), my language instructor at the 2016 African Flagship Languages Initiative (AFLI) Domestic Intensive Summer Program at UF, and Mr. Mohammed Kofi Mustapha (Ph.D student in Anthropology at the UF), for teaching me Akan/Twi. Their dedication and support have been instrumental in the planning and execution of this project. I believe that the study of language serves as the premier gateway to better understanding people and culture, and my experience learning Akan/Twi has reinforced this belief in so many ways.

Spatial and Trophic Ecology of the Bluntnose Sixgill Shark Across A
Connectivity in deep water sharks and implications for bycatch Christina M. Comfort and Kevin C. Weng Department of Oceanography University of Hawaii at Manoa PFRP Annual Meeting November 26-27 2012 1 Elasmobranchs as bycatch in fisheries • Unwanted bycatch, commercially valuable non-target catch, or targeted • Shark finning is a major cause of shark population decline – high demand • Deep-sea sharks – Increasingly captured (sport, commercially valuable bycatch) – “Replacement” species as shallower populations are depleted – High impact expected • Long population doubling times • Many species have low fecundity • K-selected Lewison et al. 2004, Akhilesh et al., 2011 2 The bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) • Extremely widely distributed species (i.e. Compagno, 1984; Ebert 1986) • Common on continental shelves, island slopes, seamounts (Compagno, 1984) • Reported up to 4.8 meters (females mature ~4m, males ~3m) (Bigelow and Schroeder, 1948) • Thought to be sluggish and have a small home range individually • Nothing known of population structure or migrations, if any 3 Why study sixgill sharks? Conservation – Anthropogenic impacts in fishing bycatch, climate change • Cross Seamount, N. America, Mexico, Mediterranean, Venezuela, Ireland, India, New Zealand… probably many more • Commercially used and sold in India, W. North America… – Impacts at species and ecosystem level unknown! –suspected to be unsustainable – Management requires more knowledge of basic biology + ecology 4 Near-global distribution of the sixgill shark Expected
