Moreover, last year the Fourth Indo-Pacific Fish Conference established a "Shark Specialist Group" and drafted a platform for the conservation of global shark resources. It is estimated that a complete survey of global shark resources can be completed within five years; shark varieties that are endangered or have dropped sharply in numbers can be identified and placed on the CITES list for protection.
去年，印度太平洋魚類國際會議，更成立鯊魚研究小組，並擬妥全球鯊魚資源保育綱領，預計五年內將全球的鯊魚資源現狀做全盤研究檢討，找出瀕臨絕種及明顯減少的種類，以便能列入華盛頓公約（CITES）保育名錄內。
