Story

The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the second-largest living shark and fish, after the whale shark, and one of three plankton-eating shark species, along with the whale shark and megamouth shark. Adults typically reach 7.9 m (26 ft) in length. It is usually greyish-brown, with mottled skin. The caudal fin has a strong lateral keel and a crescent shape.

A: Basking Shark. 象鮫，又名姥鯊，現今海洋中體型第二大的魚類，僅次於鯨鯊，和鯨鯊一樣，同屬於濾食性魚類。牠們行動緩慢，一般沒有危害及依靠浮游生物為食。如同其他的大型鯊魚的處境，象鮫正面臨滅絕的危機，原因是其低繁殖力及遭過份捕殺，以供應世界各地對魚翅、魚肉、魚油及器官的需求。
