Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is one simple and cheap laboratory technique used in profiling. In this case, it can be used to identify Great White Sharks using their proteins or DNA. This way, even if the fish is completely mutilated into the meat, the species can still be identified helping policies to be enforced.
