INTERNATIONAL TRADE OF SHARKS IN COLOMBIA INTRODUCTION: State of the Shark Resource (Exploitation estimates) Worldwide catch estimates from the volume of international fin trade, suggest that actual shark catches could be 3 to 4 times higher than those reported to the FAO Some factors which can explain this: • Non-reported landings • Information on sharks mixed within other categories • Finning Clarke et al., 2006
INTERNATIONAL TRADE OF SHARKS IN COLOMBIA METHODS • Database review: NATIONAL STATISTICS • Identification of tax codes associated with the shark resource. • Exporting and importing value for each product (fins and meat). • Volume registration in tonnes per year, destination country and origin.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE OF SHARKS IN COLOMBIA RESULTS Three (3) tax codes were identified, namely: • They feature values from 1999 to 2011. • Export and import dates. • Volumes in tonnes and prices in dollars. • Destination country and/or origin.

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).
