INTERNATIONAL TRADE OF SHARKS IN COLOMBIA

CONCLUSIONS Official statistics on shark trade in Colombia show great

uncertainty regarding the type of product (fins and meat) that is actually being traded.

It is evident that, through the use of the tax codes for frozen and fresh shark meat, non-dried or salted fins are probably being traded.

Faced with the ambiguous nature of the available data, it is paramount for Colombia to create tools which will allow the adequate registration and monitoring of the international trade at the species level (specific tax codes).
