Abstract

            Indonesia is the country with the largest shark production in the world, contributing 16.8% of the total global catch. The decline in shark populations is caused by overfishing, population decline, the characteristics of sharks' slow reproduction and the long time it takes to reproduce. DNA barcoding molecular identification for animals is one way to identify shark species using COI. This method is to obtain shark species identification and phylogeny studies.

            Shark tissue sampling was carried out in June at Fish Auctions (TPI), especially TPI Mangkang, TPI Wedung, TPI Moro Demak, TPI Bandungan, as well as Kobong Market and Tambak Lorok Market. The sample used for DNA extraction was shark tissue (white muscle). The results of molecular analysis show that the species identified is Bongo shark (C. plagiosum). The conservation status of sharks found is approaching extinction. This study also discusses the halal status of shark for consumption by Muslims.
