The Mako Shark is wanted for its tender meat and for their fins which can be used in medicines in Asian countries. In Hong Kong, shark fin soup can cost almost $100 for a single serving. As with most shark species, Mako Sharks are becoming smaller in number because they live a long life and have only a small number of babies.
