This growing demand, coupled with falling supply--the number of tofu shark caught in Taiwan has fallen from 50-60 per year ten years ago to less than 10 these days--has driven the price of tofu shark from a few thousand per head to NT $ 200,000 for a single medium-sized one.
此外台灣捕獲的豆腐鯊由十年前的每年五、六十尾，降為十尾以下，豆腐鯊的價錢也由一尾幾千元暴增到一尾中型的豆腐鯊身價都在廿萬元左右。
