Consul A. L. NJ Gottschalk, writing
from San Juan Del Norte in regard to
the use of shark fins for industrial pur-
poses in the United States, says:
Sharks exist in large numbers on this
coast. The Nicaraguan fishery laws
seem to permit of their being caught as
vermin, and there appears to be no ex.
port duty on any industrial product de-
rived from them. A number of persons

shark backbones, and skins. The for

Giles. Large quantities of these products
could be sent to the United States. were
