Dr. Chuang Shou-cheng of the Graduate School of Fisheries Science at Ocean University points out that this is why shark populations have been declining much more rapidly than other fish species. When new shark fishing grounds are discovered by the fishing fleets, they are usually fished out within a short time.
海洋大學漁業科學系博士後研究員莊守正表示，鯊魚族群劇減的速度因此比其他魚種快，漁場常常在被漁船發現不久後，就被捕一空。
