LOST BEFORE FOUND: NEW SHARK SPECIES LIKELY EXTINCT DUE TO INTENSIVE FISHING
Using three preserved specimen caught in the 1930s from Broneo, Thailand and Vietnam, researchers experts in sharks have described a new species of whaler shark from the Western Central Pacificknown only from historic records. Since this shark has not been since 1934, is likely now extinct.
The historic range of the lost shark (Carcharhinus obsolerus), as is proposed to be named, is currently under intense fishing pressure and this species has not been recorded anywhere in over 80 years. It lived in coastar waters along the western Central Pacific.
The specific name “obsolerus” is Latin for Extinct, in allusion to the fact that the species has not been seen in decades. According to the study where this species is described, with so few known records, there is a possibility it has been lost from the marine environment before any understanding could be gained of its full historic distribution, biology, ecosystem role, and importance in local fisheries.

Whaler sharks are one of the most economically important groups for the various shark fisheries that exist around the world. Also, they are found as bycatch of other commercial fisheries across its range, which cointributes to dimishes its populations, which contributes to diminishes its populations.

The same year that Trump’s FCC Chairman Ajit Pai killed broadband
privacy and cheated Network Neutrality to death, the Trump tax plan
delivered a $20B windfall to AT&T – both Trump and Pai claimed that
the measures would stimulate the economy and trickle down to the rest
of us.
Now, AT&T is saying thank you to America by prepping mass layoffs in
ten of its operational hubs in New York, California, Texas, New Jersey,
Washington State, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, and
Washington, DC. They’ve also cut investment in broadband rollout.
Despite some saber-rattling, Trump also let AT&T merge with Time-Warner.
The billions Trump gave to AT&T are being used for stock-buybacks,
executive compensation, and paying off debts from previous ill-advised
mergers.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
