In this picture taken on March 6, 2017, sacks containing unprocessed dried shark fins (R) and sea cucumbers (L) are displayed in a dried goods shop in Hong Kong.
The city's government in 2013 said it would stop serving shark fin at official functions, while luxury hotel chains Shangri-La and Peninsula Hotels also took it off their menus in 2012 and 2011. But the culture of consuming shark fin remains widespread and it is found on menus across seafood restaurants in the city. / AFP PHOTO / Anthony WALLACE
