The Convention’s memorandum of understanding on shark conservation, which lists seven endangered species, has attracted 35 signatories so far. Next month, representatives from these countries will meet in Quito, Ecuador, to discuss extending the list to include the great and scalloped hammerheads, the silky shark, thresher sharks, sawfish, and mobula rays.
公约有关鲨鱼保护问题的备忘录列举了7个濒危物种，目前已有35个国家签署了该公约。下个月，这些国家将派代表在厄瓜多尔基多召开会议，探讨拓展濒危种群范围，将双髻鲨、锤头鲨、丝鲨、长尾鲨、锯鳐和蝠鲼囊括进去。由于拟保护的鲨鱼种群数量庞大，有人已开始将公约的缔约国会议称为“鲨鱼缔约国会议”。
