A new analysis of
worldwide customs and trade data published in the journal Biological Conservation confirms that shark - fin trade has dropped by approximately 25 percent over the last decade «Although we can't say that we fully understand the
scale or the cause of the shark fin trade decline in China, it seems safe to conclude that
demand for fins is waning, and that sounds like good news for sharks,» says global shark fin trade expert Shelley Clarke, a co-author
on this study.
