Abstract

What is the significance of hearing once again from the waiter at a Chinese restaurant in Madras, in Tamil Nadu, India, that the “Shark Fin Soup is not available today, sorry”, even though India produces more than 150 t of dried fm every year? Both question and answer are symbolic of the pattern of the shark fm trade in the Bay Of Bengal, where there is a clear delineation of roles between the eastern and western shores.
