Why is this important: The IUCN has declared this species to be 'data deficient,' therefore warranting further study.1 Source: Sevengillsharksightings.org: Sevengill sharks, Notorynchus cepedianus, are currently listed as Data deficient (DD) on the IUCN Red List: “This assessment is based on the information published in the 2005 shark status survey (Fowler et al. 2005).
Comments: "Although this shark has a wide range, it is subject to intense fishing pressure as a result of being restricted to inshore waters. Currently the World Conservation Union (IUCN) lists the sevengill shark as “Data Deficient”. Data is lacking in most regions, making it difficult to determine the overall status of this species. However, it is currently assessed as “Near Threatened” in the eastern Pacific Ocean.”
