Abstract

Pelagic sharks are the targeted species of the EU longline fishing fleets. Spain possesses by far the biggest European fishing fleet. In 2005 the EU reported nearly 100,000 metric tons of shark catches in the world's oceans. The hunt is economically driven by the demand for fins in China. The IUCN's Red List criteria considers the thresher, mako, hammer head and the blue shark to be endangered.
