    I have my years accumulation of baby bonnet heads sharks I am selling. Once they are gone it will be a year before I can make a post again but I do have alot and would prefer to sell large groups at better prices to make my life easier. I will offer group deals at better prices to persuade larger groups. 1-10 sharks 25$ each. 10-20 for 18$ each. 20-50 12$ each. 50-100 for 9$ each and 100+ for 6$ each. I have roughly 500 specimens. I am a licensed commercial fisherman and these specimens were obtained legally and allowed to be sold. They are awesome specimens and well taken care of. You can harvest these specimens only in a small fraction of the year and it lasts about 2 months where they are inside mother. However all my specimens are top of th line and harvested only in the last two weeks of their spawn so all sharks are as fully developed and the largest size you can possibly obtain as an embryo. Contact me if interested or have any questions on messages here or at [email protected] thank you B1ADDE7C-F68E-462A-B96A-918D1EE8DA0F.jpeg B1ADDE7C-F68E-462A-B96A-918D1EE8DA0F.jpeg

    Aren't bonnethead sharks classified as an endangered species as of 2020? I thought that once a species is endangered, it's illegal to harvest them. You can only get a permit for endangered species if you're doing scientific research, enhancement of propagation/survival, and taking that is incidental. This seems like a felony.

    No Wheatley that is incorrect buddy bonnet sharks are not on the endangered list but yes if they were u would be absolutely correct. Thanks for your concern and inquiry but I would not be allowed to harvest them if this was correct

    There are no laws against recreational harvest of bonnethead sharks in the United States, regulations are state-by-state basis. As far as I can tell there are no laws against possession of their remains either. They are currently classified as an endangered species by the IUCN, which is why their harvest is heavily limited in many states, usually with an ~1 a day bag limit. Endangered does not mean prohibited for all species.
