how many (there) are

0Derek voiced concern about the future survival of various species of sharks, which are being captured and de-finned for shark fin soup, considered a rare delicacy in Asia and in the United States.02br

I think that unless people just stop eating the (shark fin) soup, I don't think the species has a chance."02br

00Is there optional or incorrect to have?02br
