The video of Internet celebrity food blogger "Tizi" shooting boiled sharks and grilling sharks has recently attracted the attention of the whole Internet.
The police in Nanchong, Sichuan revealed on July 31 that the shark in the video was indeed identified by relevant departments as a human shark (also known as "Great White Shark"). At present, the police are still further investigating the relevant situation reported by netizens.
On August 1, the reporter learned from the relevant personnel involved in the case of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Nanchong City, Sichuan that the shark involved was from Fujian, and the relevant personnel had previously locked it, and are currently conducting further identification of the value of the shark.
According to the above-mentioned case investigators, after the video of the Internet celebrity blogger's boiling shark and grilling shark attracted attention, the relevant departments immediately intervened in the investigation and sent the collected tissue samples, including the bones and meat of the shark, to the China Fisheries Science Institute. The South China Sea Fisheries Research Institute of the Research Institute conducted the identification, and the species of the shark has been identified to be a man-eating shark, but the age and value of the shark need to be sent to other relevant institutions for further identification.

The internet celebrity involved once said: The source is a formal channel
The online video shows that "Tizi" opened a package at the entrance of the seafood supermarket, which contained a huge "shark", which attracted many onlookers.
The video said the "Great White Shark" was 2 meters long.
After posing in the city, the "shark" was transported to the second uncle's house in the countryside and divided.
"Tizi" burned a large pot outdoors, exaggeratedly used a lot of seasonings, the tail was used for grilling, and the fish body was sprinkled with red seasonings.
In the video screen, the subtitle of "artificial breeding and edible" is written in the upper left corner.
Previously, the owner of the seafood supermarket in the video told reporters that the shark was not sold in his own store, but brought by the blogger for filming in advance, and he was just lending the venue.
The reporter contacted the Internet celebrity blogger "Tizi" involved. The other party said that the shark in the video was a "sharp-toothed shark" and that the source was a regular channel.
The manager of the local seafood market in southern Sichuan said that the blogger had bought seafood at the market, and sometimes brought seafood to the market to shoot.
After watching the video on the Internet, he said that the "shark" in the video looks like frozen goods, and their market does not sell sharks.
Popular science blogger:
Great white sharks cannot be farmed
Popular science blogger @Blackscale Cockscomb Snake told reporters that great white sharks are distributed worldwide, and there are records in my country's Yellow Sea, East China Sea, and Bohai Sea, but large sharks, including great white sharks, currently do not have artificial breeding populations and cannot be artificially farmed Yes, "The anchor's so-called 'big shark breeding' is a myth."
On July 31, the first netizen to report the incident, @新神Q Baofeng, told reporters that he had sent a video of the anchor involved in the seaside fishing port to "Black-Scaled Cockscomb Snake" to see, and the other party recognized that it was probably Zhejiang. Zhoushan, however, is currently not sure where the source of the shark is. "If it is the source, we are still contacting the coastal provinces to investigate one by one."
The human shark, also known as the great white shark, has been included in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which is equivalent to the second-level protected animal in my country.
In March 2017, my country's Endangered Species Import and Export Management Office announced the "List of Wild Animals or Their Products whose Trade is Prohibited or Restricted by International Conventions Concluded or Participated by the People's Republic of China", and the shark was among them.
According to Article 341 of the Criminal Law, anyone who illegally hunts or kills precious or endangered wild animals under special state protection, or illegally acquires, transports or sells precious or endangered wild animals under special state protection and their products shall be punished by punishment. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than 10 years, and shall also be fined; if the circumstances are especially serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years and shall be fined or confiscation of property.
