Megamouth shark Baja California, Mexico, and samples taken from GenBank in order to perform a population genetic analyses of the megamouth shark; the results indicated no genetic diversity between populations found in different geographical locations, which indicates the species forms a single, highly migratory, interbreeding population. The first megamouth shark was captured on November 15, 1976, about 25 miles off the coast of Kāneohe, Hawaii, when it became entangled in the sea anchor of United States Navy ship "AFB-14". The species was identified as being of a new genus within the planktivorous shark species. Examination of the 4.5-m (14.7-ft), 750-kg (1,650-lb) specimen
Fish fillet processor Fish fillet processor A fish fillet processor processes fish into a fillet. Fish processing starts from the time the fish is caught. Popular species processed include cod, hake, haddock, tuna, herring, mackerel, salmon and pollock. Commercial fish processing is a global practice. Processing varies regionally in productivity, type of operation, yield and regulation. Approximately 90% of processed fish are oceanic fish. The remaining 10% are from commercial freshwater operations and aquacultural production. Most fish processing industries are near commercial fishing zones. In certain regions, fish are transported or exported for processing. The largest fish processing countries in order are: These
