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 75 Frilled shark Chlamydoselachus anguineus NT    3.1 (2001) 76 Frilled shark Chlamydoselachus sp. nov.
