13132562. Blue shark, Prionace glauca, close to surface
Blue shark, Prionace glauca, close to surface. Blue sharks are found off the coasts of every continent, except Antarctica. It is estimated that 10 to 20 million of these sharks are killed each year as a result of fishing. The meat is edible, but not widely sought after; it is consumed fresh, dried, smoked and salted and diverted for fishmeal. There is a report of high concentration of heavy metals (mercury and lead) in the edible flesh. The skin is used for leather, the fins for shark-fin soup and the liver for oil. Blue sharks are occasionally sought as game fish for their beauty and speed. Blue sharks rarely bite humans. Copy space. Azores, Portugal Date

EDITORS COMMENTS
Say cheese! This blue shark knows how to strike a pose, showing off its sleek and powerful form as it glides close to the surface. But don't let its beauty fool you - this magnificent creature is facing a serious threat. With an estimated 10 to 20 million of these sharks killed each year due to fishing, we need to protect their existence in our oceans. Blue sharks are found in every continent's coastal waters, except Antarctica. Their meat may not be widely sought after, but it can be consumed fresh, dried, smoked or salted. However, recent reports have shown high concentrations of heavy metals like mercury and lead in their edible flesh. While some use the skin for leather and fins for shark-fin soup (a controversial delicacy), others value these sharks as game fish for their speed and elegance. Thankfully, blue sharks rarely bite humans. Let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible diversity of marine life that exists beneath the waves. This stunning photo captured off the coast of Azores, Portugal reminds us of both the beauty and fragility of our underwater world. So next time you're near the ocean, remember: keep calm and save our sharks!
