INCIDENTAL FISHING OF SHARKS ECUADOR { 29 images } Created 15 May 2019
China's fishing fleet is the one that manages the business of coveted shark meat and fins in a legal and illegal manner in Asian markets. The Ecuadorian government opened the shark bycatch in 2008 with executive decree 902 issued by the former Ecuadorian president, Rafael Correa. The incidental capture of sharks has allowed a greater depopulation of the species of sharks in danger of extinction.
