	Shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shark eyes are similar to the eyes of other vertebrates, including similar lenses, corneas and retinas, though their eyesight is well adapted to their marine environment with the help of a tissue called tapetum lucidum.
		Sharks include everything from the hand-sized Pygmy Shark, a deep sea species, to the Whale Shark, the largest fish (although sharks are not closely related to bony fish) which is known to grow to a maximum length of approximately 15 metres (49 feet) and which, like the great whales, feeds only on plankton.
		Sharks are often killed for shark fin soup, in which many sharks are hunted for their fins, which are cut off with a hot metal blade before the live animal is tossed back into the water.

	Angel shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The angel sharks are an unusual group of sharks, with their flattened bodies and broad pectoral fins that give them a strong resemblance to skates and rays.
		Angel sharks are bottom-dwellers, burying themselves in sand or mud, then lunging to snap up prey, which includes fish, crustaceans, and various types of mollusks.
		The sharks were long considered of no commercial interest, but in 1978, Michael Wagner, a fish processor in Santa Barbara, California began to promote angel sharks, and 310 metric tons were taken off California in 1984.

		It also extends the shark's sensory systems: the eyes are placed far apart, improving its field of vision; the ampullae of Lorenzini and lateral line have a larger surface area, increasing their sensitivity.

		However, because the kitefin shark is widely distributed and data on fisheries and populations are lacking from most of its range, it is not possible to reach a global assessment.
		Natal Sharks Board data demonstrate a significant declining trend in catches from 1978-98, with evidence of localised stock depletion, and a decrease in mean length in the southwest Indian Ocean.
		This shark's apparently sporadic distribution and low abundance suggests that it may be unable to sustain heavy, localised fishing pressure, and shark fisheries are intensifying in the Indo-Pacific.
