LIMA - The Peruvian authorities said on Sept 16 they had seized about 1.3 tonnes of illegally harvested shark fins, a delicacy in some Asian countries that has placed the predatory creatures at grave risk.

Harvesting often involves catching sharks, removing their fins, and tossing them back into the ocean to die.

According to the Pew Environment Group, between 63 million and 273 million sharks are killed every year, mainly for their fins and other parts. AFP
