<p>Customs inspectors have found nearly a half ton of shark fins cut illegally from protected hammerhead sharks.</p>
<p>Customs director Gloria Moreno de Lopez said that the fins were found at Panama&#8217;s international airport in a shipment labelled as dried fish.</p>
<p>She said the container originated in Ecuador and was bound for New York City.</p>
<p>Environmental organisations say shark fins are prized as a delicacy, and overfishing is putting many hammerhead sharks at risk of extinction.</p>
<p>Fishermen who harvest the animals typically cut off the fins and toss the carcass back into the sea.</p>
