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 150 Shortfin Mako Isurus oxyrinchus LR/nt    2.3 (1994) 151 Shortspine spurdog Squalus mitsukurii DD    3.1 (2001) 152 Shorttail nurse shark Pseudoginglymostoma brevicaudatum VU A3cd A4cd  3.1 (2001) 153 Sicklefin lemon shark Negaprion acutidens VU A2abcd A3bcd A4abcd 3.1 (2001) 154 Sixgill sawshark Pliotrema warreni NT    3.1 (2001) 155 Slender catshark Schroederichthys tenuis DD    3.1 (2001) 156 Slender sawtail shark Galeus gracilis DD    3.1 (2001) 157 Smalldorsal catshark Apristurus micropterygeus DD    3.1 (2001) 158 Smallfin catshark Apristurus parvipinnis DD    3.1 (2001) 159 Smalltooth sand tiger Odontaspis ferox DD    3.1 (2001) 160 Smooth hammerhead Sphyrna zygaena LR/nt    2.3 (1994) 161 Smoothback Angel shark Squatina occulta EN A1abd A2d  2.3 (1994) 162 Smoothtooth Blacktip Carcharhinus leiodon VU B1 B2c C2b 2.3 (1994) 163 Snaggletooth shark Hemipristis elongatus VU A2bd A3bd A4bd 3.1 (2001) 164 Sombre catshark Bythaelurus sp. nov.
