Abstract

Anthropologists tell us that over 500000000 years ago the seas swarmed with some type of marine life and that during the Devonian period of 350 0000 000 years ago we could find the first species of monk fish that is now in high demand on the fish market place and sought after in strange hostile waters by European fishermen. The sharks were introduced to the planet at about this time and until this day have had the reputation of being the ocean's most voracious predators.
