HUSBAND IN CHURCH If you want to learn about shark fishing, Salerno, Fla., is the place to go. Sharking is a growing in dustry there. They don't go after sharks in Salerno for the fun of it. In recent y e a r s 'it has been dis covered that shark liver is phenome nally rich in vitamin A, and there fore valuable medicinally, so the pri mary urge of the shark hunters was for the liver.

Shark fins are a delicacy in China. The sharks caught off Salerno and in Hobe sound average 20 feet or more in length. They weigh a ton or more and include such branches of the shark family tree as the mack erel. black leopard, sandshark, ham merhead, black tip, tiger, lemon and white shark. Shark fishing does not involve the rod-and-reel angling technique. In some parts of the world, the huge fish are harpooned. In Salerno they catch ’em on the assembly line method. A steel chain from 3,000 to 3,500 feet long is strung between buoys at a depth of about 60 feet. Great hooks are attached to the chain at intervals and these hooks are baited with scrap fish. After a sufficient interval the chain is raised A big shark is hauled over the gunwales. A winch lifts the sea beast by a winch on the fishing boat and the monsters hauled in.
