After a fierce beating, the sharp-toothed shark overturned, showing its belly.
Once Chu Mingcheng removed the fish arrow, he left it alone.
The name "sharp-toothed shark" is actually translated from Taiwanese; its real scientific name is Big Hole Sandbar Shark, which is listed as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources Red List of Threatened Species.
This was also the reason why Chu Mingcheng had no intention of bringing it back to the boat.
One reason was that the price was unclear; besides, he didn't like to eat shark meat, and it wasn't suitable to give to Brother Haiwang either.
If somebody with an agenda found out the shark was classified as vulnerable, there would inevitably be trouble.
It was wiser to avoid such hassles. If they hadn't been affecting his fishing, he wouldn't have bothered with them at all.
