Given the ecological and ecosystemic role of the elasmobranchs, often occupying top positions in the food chain, and their fragile conservation status further worsened by climate change, habitat degradation, and their inherently slow reproductive cycles, providing updated data on shark meat market appears to be a crucial first step in understanding demand trends and identifying possible points of intervention to discourage its consumption.

Abstract
Given the ecological and ecosystemic role of the elasmobranchs, often occupying top positions in the food chain, and their fragile conservation status further worsened by climate change, habitat degradation, and their inherently slow reproductive cycles, providing updated data on shark meat market appears to be a crucial first step in understanding demand trends and identifying possible points of intervention to discourage its consumption. The present contribution offers an in-depth analysis of the shark meat market in Italy, contextualized within broader European trends, based on data retrieved from public databases (ISMEA, EUMOFA/Eurostat, FAO, CIRPSE.
