Its a fishy story and a Shark tale. A fascinating secret that tells why fishes needs shark. Its the same reason we need them too.

Japanese loved eating fishes. The consumption in certain areas went so high that soon there were not much fishes left around the sore. Japanese fisheries started looking for alternative and there seemed to be only one – diving deeper into the sea.

So the Fisheries people built huge ships and went deeper and deeper into the sea to catch fishes. They would catch fishes in very large numbers and it would take many days before they are back. To keep the fishes from getting decayed, they used large cold storages. The Japanese, with a taste for quality, failed to relish cold storage fish. They didn’t taste as good as the fresh fish.

Next, the fisheries came up with yet another golden idea. The replaced the cold storage with a big water tank. They caught the fish alive and housed them in the large water tank. This way fish arrived live on the shore. Guess what!!! Japanese still rejected the fish. It didn’t taste up to their expectation. Why? Well during the journey fishes would be packed in a small water tank with no place and above all no reason to move. The fishes that would reach the shore would be very much alive and very much sluggish. A sluggish fish with very low blood circulation were tasting as good as dead ones.

So what did the Japanese fisheries do next? Well that is what we call the master stroke. They introduced a small shark in the tank. During the return journey the shark will eat away quite a few fishes. But those which will survive the shark will have to take all the efforts to keep them safe and this activity would keep fishes active. Japanese finally got what they liked.

Looks like we all need some Shark  in our lives. They trouble us and can even kill us. But these sharks keep them fit and active and gives a meaning to our lives which are sure to be lost with having them around. So where is your shark?
