The degree of endangerment to the various species is determined on the basis of seriously documented criteria (see  Red List Criteria). Endangered Shark Species The "International Action Plan for Sharks" initiated by CITES and the FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) have established that: more than 100 out of 400 shark species are being commercially exploited many of these shark species are so overexploited that even their long-term survival can no longer be guaranteed a serious monitoring and control program is lacking for international shark trade.   Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8     |   Sorted by:       English Name      Scientific Name  Sharks in the Red List: 201 Red List # English Name Scientific Name Mayor Code Minor Code Version Trend 100 Leopard shark Triakis semifasciata LR/cd    2.3 (1994) 101 Lesser soupfin shark Hypogaleus hyugaensis LR/nt    2.3 (1994) 102 Little gulper shark Centrophorus cf. uyato DD    3.1 (2001) 103 Lizard catshark Schroederichthys saurisqualus VU B1ab(iii,v)   3.1 (2001) 104 Longfin catshark Apristurus herklotsi DD    3.1 (2001) 105 Longhead catshark Apristurus longicephalus DD    3.1 (2001) 106 Longnose catshark Apristurus kampae DD    3.1 (2001) 107 Mandarine dogfish Cirrhigaleus barbifer NT    3.1 (2001) 108 McMillan's catshark Parmaturus macmillani DD    3.1 (2001) 109 Megamouth Megachasma pelagios DD    2.3 (1994) 110 Narrowbar Swell shark Cephaloscyllium sp. nov.
