• SharkRelated: Demand for fins has contributed to severe pressure on some shark populations.

• Dorsal finRelated: Dorsal fins are among the fins targeted in this fishing practice.

• ChondrichthyesRelated: Finning contributes to fishing pressure on sharks and other chondrichthyans.

• Manta rayCompared with: Manta rays face a related trade in their gill plates, not shark fins.

• Shark conservationRelated: Finning drives targeted mortality and is addressed by bans and landing rules.

• ElasmobranchiiRelated: It is a major source of fishing pressure on many shark populations.

• Basking sharkRelated: Demand for fins has contributed to fishing mortality affecting basking sharks.

• Nurse sharkRelated: Nurse sharks can be caught for fins, though targeted pressure varies by region.

• Hammerhead sharkRelated: Fin demand has contributed to steep declines in some hammerhead populations.

• Requiem sharkRelated: Finning has contributed to declines in several commercially targeted requiem sharks.

• Bull sharkRelated: Fin trade and fishing mortality complicate assessments of bull shark populations.

• Carpet sharkRelated: Some carpet sharks are caught for fins, although fishing pressure varies greatly by species.

• GuitarfishRelated: Guitarfish fins are also traded, exposing some species to demand associated with shark-fin markets.

• WobbegongRelated: Wobbegongs face fishing pressures within the wider context of shark exploitation.

• Eagle rayCompared with: Eagle rays are sometimes affected by similar demand for ray products, though they are not sharks.

• Sand tiger sharkRelated: Finning and other fishing pressures have contributed to declines in some populations.

• Cow sharkRelated: Fin demand can add fishing pressure to some cow shark populations.

• Frilled sharkRelated: Bycatch and fishing pressure can affect deep-water sharks, including this species.

• Thresher sharkRelated: Demand for fins has contributed to fishing pressure on thresher sharks.

• WedgefishRelated: Wedgefish fins are prized in international trade, contributing to fishing pressure.

• Zebra sharkRelated: Fishing for fins contributes to pressure on zebra shark populations.

• Blue sharkRelated: Blue sharks are frequently caught for their fins in commercial fisheries.

• HoundsharkRelated: The practice can affect houndsharks caught in targeted and mixed fisheries.

• Whiptail stingrayCompared with: Unlike finning, ray fisheries may retain the animal for its wings, though fishing pressure can affect both groups.
