PUTRAJAYA: The Department of Fisheries (DOF) is taking seriously a recent study by WWF-Malaysia and Traffic South-East Asia, which revealed that online trade in shark and ray products worth over RM326mil is actively occurring on the country’s major e-commerce platforms.
Its director-general, Datuk Adnan Hussain, said the findings provide key insights into current trade patterns, which could help strengthen conservation and regulatory efforts for a group of marine species increasingly at risk.
