Abstract
Despite anti-finning laws aimed at conserving sharks, Worm et al. have revealed that global shark mortality rates have surprisingly risen over the past decade, driven in large part by increased demand for meat. Here, we discuss the importance of this study, underscoring the need for broader regulations addressing overall shark mortality amid threats from global change.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE) is a comprehensive journal featuring polished, concise, and readable reviews, opinions, and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. Catering to researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers, and students, it serves as a valuable source of information. The journal keeps scientists informed about new developments and ideas across the spectrum of ecology and evolutionary biology, spanning from pure to applied and molecular to global perspectives. In the face of global environmental change, Trends in Ecology & Evolution plays a crucial role in covering all significant issues concerning organisms and their environments, making it a major forum for life scientists.
