Book (series)World markets and industry of selected commercially-exploited aquatic species with an international conservation profile 2004
Also available in:
No results found.Over time, the international community has been launching several initiatives aimed at improving the conservation status of commercially-exploited aquatic species. The four separated studies of this report target four species or group of species with an international conservation profile and traditionally under-represented in market and industry literature. These species are sturgeons (Acipenseriformes), Caribbean queen conch (Strombus gigas), sharks (Chondrichtyes) and Patagonian toothfish (Dis sostichus eleginoides). The sturgeon and caviar industry is a commercial one, with traditionally high capture and export patterns. The queen conch fishery is an important provider of employment and income among fishing communities in the Western Central Atlantic area. The shark fishery is a relatively large and lucrative one. Sharks are mainly taken as bycatch of other commercial fisheries such as tuna and billfishes. The Patagonian toothfish is exploited by a large, commercial industry which is concentrated in the southernmost areas of the Atlantic and the Pacific and in Antarctic waters. -
Book (series)Shark utilization, marketing and trade 1999
Also available in:
No results found.Sharks belong to the Chondrichthyes class, together with skates, rays, and chimeras, and are found in a wide variety of habitats worldwide, employing many biological strategies. Although sharks make up only a small percentage of the world’s recorded fish landings, they are extremely versatile and are a valuable resource. They are of primary importance in some regions of the world, sustaining important fisheries in some countries. Moreover, they are a cheap but valuable source of protein for coastal communities dependent on subsistence fisheries. Humans can utilize much of the carcass for food or other uses. Sharks are exploited for their meat, fins, skin, liver, teeth, cartilage, and other internal organs. It is not possible to utilize every shark for all these uses, as the methods of preservation and preparation are often mutually exclusive, and not all shark species are suitable for all applications. This report details the species used and the methods of preparation for the various purposes. It assembles information, as well as the latest statistics available, from those parts of the world where sharks are important economically, as a substantial fisheries sector, a contribution to human food, or a valuable trading item.
