SHARK FISHING IN LOWER CALIFORNIA
The shark fishing industry is becoming increasingly important in the
Ensenada Consular district, writes United States Consul William C.
Burdett, stationed in Lower California. The Lower California shark,
known locally as the dogfish shark, is from four to five feet long and
weighs from 90 to 125 pounds. The fishing is usually done by individual
fishermen working out from camps on land. The fish are caught on long
set lines, on which are fifty to one hundred hooks baited with small
fish or lumps of shark meat.
The fins are sold for consumption by Chinese in shark fin soup. The
liver is boiled down and shark oil rendered out. Each liver gives
an average of one gallon of oil. The oil is used in paints and as
a leather preservative. The skins are not utilized, except for
fertilizer. Frequently shark steaks are sold by Chinese in the district
under the name of grayfish.
