Fish such as the shark and bluefin tuna are disappearing from the Mediterranean, according to a study published by the International Union of Conservation of Nature.
This study gathered data on 519 species of Mediterranean fish and found that roughly ten percent of these species are under serious, immediate threat. Specifically endangered are sharks and batoids (rays and skates).
Over forty percent of the 76 species of sharks and batoids are endangered, according to the study. These species are in immediate danger of extinction, which will seriously affect the marine food chain.
