Endangered Shark Meat Found in U.S. Grocery Stores, Study Says
- A new study found that shark meat products sold in U.S. stores often come from endangered species, with nearly one-third of tested products originating from at-risk species like the Great Hammerhead and Shortfin Mako.
- Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill identified that 93 percent of shark products were ambiguously labeled as 'shark,' obscuring their actual species.
- Conservationists emphasize that global shark populations have declined by over 70 percent since the 1970s and warn of high mercury and arsenic levels in some species.
- The study advocates for species-specific labeling to protect consumers and support wildlife conservation.
