[Nhcoll-l] Tail Shark

[Dirk Neumann]

... interesting question - we will receive 50 kg of dried shark fins 
confiscated by customs because of CITES violations. I was opting to keep 
them dry, but outside of climate controlled storage areas (because of 
the risks of malfunctioning of our climate control systems) ...

> We had received a dry tail of a thresher shark (Alopias superciliosus). People who give it dried the tail outdoors, only protected by sunlight and hanging from the tip of the tail. The preservation is quite good, but the base still contains some tissues and muscles that look dry, but smell a lot.  Could someone give us recommendations for preservation? For the moment, we have no intention to expose it.
