The regulation was agreed last year at a meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species in Thailand.According to the rules，the whitetip (白鳍鲨)，the porbeagle (鼠鲨)，and three varieties of hammerhead will be protected.Besides，manta rays (比目鱼)，valued for their gills (鳃)which are used in Chinese medicine，will also be protected. The action is seen as the most important one in the 40-year history to protect these species. “Regulating international trade in these shark and manta ray species has a great effect on their survival and is a very clear way of helping to protect sharks and our oceans，” said Secretary General John Scanlon.“The practical steps will involve issues such as limiting export levels，and identifying the fins，gills and meat that are in trade.This may seem challenging，but by working together we can do it and we will do it.” Under the rules，all trade in these sharks and rays across 180 countries will not be allowed unless they have got their permits given by the national related organization. As a matter of fact，trade in shark fins has already decreased greatly as a result of campaigns to raise awareness.Recently it has been reported that sales have gone down by 70%.Earlier this year the hotel giant，Hilton Worldwide stopped serving shark fins at its 96 owned and managed Asia-Pacific hotels. However，Denmark，Canada，Guyana，Japan，Iceland and Yemen have all announced they will not follow the new rules and will continue to fish for some or all of these species.Under the regulations though，they are only able to trade with other countries that are also ready to ignore the rules. Officials point out that for such a questioned issue，the number of countries which is going to continue the trade is small. 【语篇解读】　去年在泰国的一个
