They use this ability to hunt for prey hidden under the sand and to navigate according to the earth's magnetic field. "They are like some high-tech AWACS thing, with all their sensors," says Sean Van Sommeran, executive director of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation in Santa Cruz, Calif.

The problem is, about about half of those shipments go to the U.S., which is dealing with its own economic travails. American consumers and corporations just aren't buying like they used to, and so Asia's warehouses are overflowing with unsold...
