香港對鯊魚鰭,即魚翅有很高的需求。部分漁民將價值高昂的鯊魚鰭割斷,再把無鰭的鯊魚抛回海中,牠們只能慢慢死去。而大青鯊(Prionace glauca)是受影響最嚴重的鯊魚物種之一。

Shark fins are highly sought after in Hong Kong. Shark finning is a practice where the fins of a shark are cut off, while the finless shark is left to suffer a slow death. Blue shark (Prionace glauca) is one of the most affected shark species.
