    Dear Seafood Colleagues:

    Here there is a big discussion becasuse ecologist organizations, ask the court that all sharks must be landed with the fins naturally attached to the shark body, but the fishermen told that this disposition makes the activity unprofitable because the shark with the fins need too much space in the freezeres or cooler in the vessels. In the past the sharks arrived with the fins partially cut, to save space, besides the firshermen told that this type of cut promoted bleeding, to get good quality safe and shark flesh.

    I need someone to support the fishermen idea with scientific evidence, links to articles or articles will be useful, fishermen has 15 days to reappeal the decision that could be revoked with scientific evidence.

    Thanks for your collaboration
