Abstract: The profitability of shark fishing is based on utilization of the total animal: meat, fins, hide, liver, teeth, and offal. FAO study concluded that the shark is a high protein source; 2) hard currencies can be earned through export; 3) shark resources are underutilized or wasted; 4) decisions must be made in advance whether the animal will be mainly used for meat or hides; 5) existing processing facilities should be utilized; 6) no sharks harvested should be wasted. In marketing, the survey concluded that 1) international markets for shark meat is increasing; 2) demand is met domestically and by imports; 3) demand for shark fins is the highest in Hong Kong and Singapore; 4) the United States is the largest market for shark hide; 5) a narrow market for shark liver oil exists in Japan; 6) marginal, spasmodic demand for shark teeth exists in popular seaside resorts. Future production in developing countries to meet increasing international demand is predicted to be a promising venture.
