Authorities in Brazil have confiscated nearly 29 tonnes of illegal shark fins bound for Asia in what they described as possibly the largest such seizure ever.
Environment protection agency Ibama estimated some 10,000 blue sharks and shortfin mako sharks had been killed for the fins. The two species were added to Brazil’s national list of endangered species last month.
