Hunting or Being Hunted

I recently read up one of our marine magazines published with a huge Chinese character which I do not understand the meaning of it. So I went to ask my wife and she explained to me the article's writings and the word pronunciation. Do you know what this means??

Its the Chinese writing for Sharks. The constructions of the word came from the combination of a few elements. First of all, sharks habitat in ocean as you can see from the three dots on the upper left corner which means "water". Shark is one kind of the fish species which we can see from the bottom of the work "fish". The third element is the pronunciation that we used to call this word which derived from the mother word "less" or "shao" on the upper right corner of the word.

But incredibly the third element taught us that sharks are lesser and lesser nowadays due to extinction. Is it a coincidence or the ancestors already forecast shark's fate? Of course, we can help to do our part in preserving this predator from its unfavorable fate especially if you are a diver, the guardian of the ocean. Think twice the next time you organize any banquet involving their fins. Say "No" to Shark Finning if you still want to capture the glory of those hammerheads at Kapalai.
