The Vinpearl Land Tourism Joint Stock Company on August 8 released 25 brownbanded bamboo sharks into the sea near the Hon Tre island, the central coastal Nha Trang Bay of Khanh Hoa province in a move to protect the biodiversity of the bay.

This is one of three shark species that were grown up at the Vinpearl aquarium.

The species, scientifically known as Chiloscyllium punctatum, is in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species./.
