Gray Reef Shark, killed for its fins

This gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos, appears to have been killed only for its valuable fins, then discarded, possibly still alive. Known as finfishing, this wasteful and cruel practice results higher profits for shark fishermen, but threatens to exterminate many species. Thailand, Andaman Sea
