The dusky shark is a large, wide-ranging warm-water shark that has been exploited without limit for its meat, fins, and cartilage, particularly since the late 1970s (SEDAR 2011a at 3). As a large shark, averaging 11.8 feet (3.6 meters) in length and inhabiting both coastal and pelagic waters, the dusky is particularly susceptible to the commercial fishing and finning that have caused its decline. In fact, experts have identified the substantial increase in fishing pressure as the “single greatest threat to all sharks ” (Baum et al. 2005 at 10, 27-29). Fishing pressure, even under the most conservative models, threatens a third of all shark species (Morgan 2010 at 2-3), and may have already reduced the dusky shark to “the edge of collapse ” (Romine et al. 2009 at 277).
