Phylogenetic tree obtained from 929 samples from 12 species of sharks found in vessel Fu Yuan Yu Leng 999, comparative sequences from GenBank (1275 individuals from 229 shark species distributed in the Pacific Ocean), and 9 Galapagos sharks from the Galápagos Islands. The figure also shows the number of identified carcasses per species found in the vessel (a total of 929 individuals); note that these numbers represent only a fraction of the 7639 sharks (7207 juveniles or adults, 432 unborn) found in the Fu Yuan Yu Leng 999.
