what happens to the sharks once they are killed?

I'm just thinking along the lines of we kill fish and other marine life to eat, so it's not too much of a stretch to extend that to sharks as well. In some countries it is quite "normal" to eat shark, and everytime you order Flake from the fish and chip store here in Australia, that's what you're really eating.

Shark Fin soup is somewhat of a delicacy as well, so maybe it could be a new martket for export.

i think big sharks contain to much mercury to eat

---

i heard they have ammonia in them like stingrays?

---

i know there is some reason why we can't eat them

I just got this off google ask

What Type of Shark Meat Can You Eat?

Answer

Most sharks, especially the larger ones, can't be eaten safely because they contain a high level of mercury. Some sharks that are commonly eaten are the dogfish, blacktip shark, bull shark, and shortfin mako.

eewwwwww

"Shark meat, especially from small sharks like blacktips, sharpnose and bonnetheads is safe to eat in small amounts. It sounds like your shark meat was not properly cleaned. Sharks urinate through their skin so the ammonia smell you encountered was a high amount of ureaic acid that built up in the meat. Next time you harvest a shark, immediately remove all internal organs and let it bleed out, then place on ice."

[lloydslights]

I am not making light of the death of sharks in their own domain, here.  

However, it is now reported that the Dept of Fisheries has taken over due to threats to the successful tenderer/contractor of this despicable practice.

Rubbish. It was most likely the Department that called for the tenders in the first place.  And they're taking the "heat off the winning tenderer". Otherwise they,the contractor,may claim against the breaking of the contract conditions due to the dangerous "on-land-sharks" circling them.
