As shark fins worth more, most fishermen went to cut fins from a living sharks. They then throw the still-living sharks back to the ocean since shark meat worth much less and to make room on board for more valuble fins. The finless sharks were unable to move and causes them to die of suffocation or get preyed by other sharks or animals.
