"“Finning” sharks is a gruesome business. Because the fin fetches vastly more money than the shark’s body, traders slash off the fins and throw the shark back into the water for a torturous death. Altogether, about 73 million sharks are killed every year, for food or for sport or as bycatch, and some shark species have been seriously depleted. The larger threat here is to ocean ecosystems, which depend upon large predators to maintain a vibrant food chain and a diverse fish population."
