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:      Scientific Name     English Name  Sharks in the Red List: 201 Red List # Scientific Name English Name Mayor Code Minor Code Version Trend 125 Lamna nasus Porbeagle LR/nt    2.3 (1994) 126 Leptocharias smithii Barbeled houndshark LR/nt    2.3 (1994) 127 Megachasma pelagios Megamouth DD    2.3 (1994) 128 Miroscyllium sheikoi Rasptooth dogfish DD    3.1 (2001) 129 Mollisquama parini Pocket shark DD    3.1 (2001) 130 Mustelus canis Dusky smoothhound LR/nt    2.3 (1994) 131 Mustelus dorsalis Sharptooth smoothhound DD    3.1 (2001) 132 Mustelus fasciatus Striped dogfish CR A2abd A3bd A4abd 3.1 (2001) 133 Nebrius ferrugineus Tawny nurse shark VU A2abcd A3cd Aabcd 3.1 (2001) 134 Negaprion acutidens Sicklefin lemon shark VU A2abcd A3bcd A4abcd 3.1 (2001) 135 Negaprion brevirostris Lemon shark LR/nt    2.3 (1994) 136 Notorynchus cepedianus Broadnose sevengill shark DD    2.3 (1994) 137 Odontaspis ferox Smalltooth sand tiger DD    3.1 (2001) 138 Odontaspis noronhai Bigeye sandtiger DD    2.3 (1994) 139 Orectolobus maculatus Spotted Wobbegong NT    3.1 (2001) 140 Orectolobus ornatus Ornate wobbegong NT    3.1 (2001) 141 Oxynotus bruniensis Prickly dogfish DD    3.1 (2001) 142 Oxynotus caribbaeus Caribbean roughshark DD    3.1 (2001) 143 Oxynotus japonicus Japanese roughshark DD    3.1 (2001) 144 Parascyllium sparsimaculatum Ginger carpet shark DD    3.1 (2001) 145 Parmaturus macmillani McMillan's catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 146 Parmaturus sp. nov.
