The Pros of Shark Finning-
The Cons of Shark Finning-
1. The act of shark finning can effect surrounding species. This is because, sharks are considered the top predators of marine ecosystems, and when that species is removed, then other organisms tend to over populate.
2. Not only are other species effected, but the shark itself suffers an agonizing death. Once the shark has been de-finned, it is heaved into the ocean. As a result the shark either drowns, because of the lack of mobility and suffocates because its gills can not filter oxygen fast enough for it to breathe. In some instances the shark is eaten alive by other predators.
3. As a result of shark finning, the smooth hammerhead shark has lost 90% of its population.
4. If shark finning continues to climb the rate is right now, then certain sharks are at the risk of being put on the endangered species list.
5. Also, shark fin soup has a high mercury content because of bio accumulation, which can effect for your bodies health.
- People that engage in shark finning are likely receive a high profits from selling the fins.
- For instance, if a particular shark species is overpopulating, shark finning can help reduce the amount of sharks produced.
- The dead shark body that is released back into the ocean is also, food for the fish around it.
