Shark on the menu at fish and chip shops despite being deemed threatened species

Threatened species of shark might not sound all that mouth-watering, but DNA analysis has revealed they are making their way into servings of fish and chips sold by takeaway shops in parts of Australia.

Research by the University of Adelaide analysed flake fillets sold by more than 100 outlets across Adelaide and regional SA, and identified barely a quarter as the non-endangered gummy shark.
