Casting a rod in search of dinner? A fishing display for the zoo's child visitors that does not involve a hook? What is going on in that jam-packed tank?

It's a large tank for young blacktip reef sharks, but it looks crowded because they've all congregated around the rods.
Rods with 'bait' are available for a small fee - no hooks involved, just a matter of the sharks pulling the pieces of fish out of a loop in the line.
I think the idea of 'fishing' for sharks gives some people a sense of excitement.
Although it may be seen as just another animal feeding session, there are a few things I don't like about this.
