Each year, fishermen catch millions of sharks, cut off their fins, and dump the bodies into the ocean to die. The fins are used to make shark fin soup, an Asian delicacy sold in many countries. Recently, a team of scientists and environmental groups collected soup from restaurants across the United States and analyzed the soups' genetic make-up. They found endangered species on the menu.
每年渔民们都会杀死几百万只鲨鱼,割下它们的鳍片,并把鲨鱼丢回海里导致鲨鱼因没有鳍而死亡 。割下来的鲨鱼鳍会用来熬成鱼翅汤,这种亚洲美食在世界许多国家都有餐厅出售 。最近,一群科学家和环保人员组成的小组收集了美国各家餐馆的鱼翅汤,并分析了这些鲨鱼的基因,发信鲨鱼物种正濒临灭绝 。
