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 1 Aculeola nigra Hooktooth dogfish DD    3.1 (2001) 2 Alopias vulpinus Thresher shark DD    3.1 (2001) 3 Apristurus albisoma Whitish catshark NT    3.1 (2001) 4 Apristurus aphyodes White ghost catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 5 Apristurus atlanticus Atlantic Ghost catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 6 Apristurus brunneus Brown catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 7 Apristurus canutus Hoary catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 8 Apristurus fedorovi Stout catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 9 Apristurus gibbosus Humpback catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 10 Apristurus herklotsi Longfin catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 11 Apristurus internatus New catshark species DD    3.1 (2001) 12 Apristurus investigatoris Broadnose catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 13 Apristurus kampae Longnose catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 14 Apristurus laurussonii Icelandic catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 15 Apristurus longicephalus Longhead catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 16 Apristurus macrorhynchus Flathead catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 17 Apristurus macrostomus Broadmouth catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 18 Apristurus micropterygeus Smalldorsal catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 19 Apristurus nasutus Largenose catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 20 Apristurus parvipinnis Smallfin catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 21 Apristurus pinguis Fat catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 22 Apristurus platyrhynchus Borneo catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 23 Apristurus profundorum Deepwater catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 24 Apristurus riveri Broadgill catshark DD    3.1 (2001) 25 Apristurus sinensis South China catshark DD    3.1 (2001)   Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8     |   Sorted by:      Scientific Name     English Name
