Posted Mon Nov 10 2008: from Guardian (UK):
Quarter of Atlantic sharks and rays face extinction http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1226326112
 More than a quarter of sharks and rays in the north-east Atlantic face extinction from overfishing, conservationists warned today. A "red list" report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) found that 26 percent of all sharks, rays and related species in the regional waters are threatened with extinction. Seven per cent are classed as critically endangered, while a fifth are regarded as "near-threatened".
