Under the rules,all trade in these sharks and rays across 180 countries will not be allowed unless they have got their permits given by the national related organization.
As a matter of fact,trade in shark fins has already decreased greatly as a result of campaigns to raise awareness.Recently it has been reported that sales have gone down by 70%.Earlier this year the hotel giant,Hilton Worldwide stopped serving shark fins at its 96 owned and managed Asia-Pacific hotels.
However,Denmark,Canada,Guyana,Japan,Iceland and Yemen have all announced they will not follow the new rules and will continue to fish for some or all of these species.Under the regulations though,they are only able to trade with other countries that are also ready to ignore the rules.
Officials point out that for such a questioned issue,the number of countries which is going to continue the trade is small.
