Comment on Sharks
ladicius@lemmy.world 1 day agoThey pretty sure may and pretty sure will.
At other extinction events deep water dwelling creatures had good chances to survive. Also sharks don’t have complex food needs, are widespread over the globe and procreate without much ado (no familie structures and such, their approach is quantity based)… They will do fine.

I hope you are right, 100 million sharks a year is a lot of sharks to lose

Trawling doesn’t discriminate and the sharks are usually injured so badly that they die a slow painful death after being thrown overboard again, that’s if they’re not dead already.
