Abstract
Historically in the Indian coastal regions, elasmobranchs have been caught, traded, and consumed for centuries. In some regions (including non-coastal, high-altitude and interior regions), there is a high preference for certain elasmobranch species, products, and cuisines. While India has banned international trade of shark fins since 2015, and extended protection to ten species of sharks under the Wildlife (Protection) Act,1972, there is no restriction on the harvest, domestic trade, and consumption of elasmobranchs.
