Bluefin tuna swim in a holding pen in Australia. A conservation group has named three fish species that it says are at risk of extinction. The fish are threatened because of overfishing to meet the worldâs growing demand for food.
Some species, such as spiny dogfish and porbeagle, are targeted primarily for their meat. The oceanic whitetip, porbeagle and three hammerhead species are some of the shark species of concern for WWF, where the impact of trade is contributing to declines in populations. Millions of these sharks continue to be fished annually to supply the persistent demand for their fins and meat.
