| Australia reports that 12% of Australian shark species are at risk of extinction |
Xinhua News Agency, Canberra, September 22 (Reporter Yue Dongxing Bai Xu) A report entitled "Australian Shark and Ray Action Plan 2021" recently released by Australia stated that it adopted the first report on all sharks, rays and silver mackerels in Australia.
(Common name ghost shark) A comprehensive assessment of the extinction risk found that 12% of these species in Australian waters are at risk of extinction
.
This report released on the 21st by the Marine Biodiversity Center of Australia's National Environmental Science Project shows that about a quarter of the world's cartilaginous fishes live in Australian waters
.
The 328 cartilaginous fishes found in Australian waters include 182 species of sharks, 132 species of rays, and 14 species of silver sharks, 39 of which are assessed to be at risk of extinction
The World Conservation Union updated its Red List of Threatened Species earlier this month
.
Data from the Endangered Species List website shows that the number of sharks and their close relatives, the marine overlord, has decreased significantly, and 37% of sharks and rays worldwide are at risk of extinction
The first author of the report and a senior researcher at Charles Darwin University, Peter Kane, said that although the extinction risk of shark species in Australian waters is much lower than the global level of 37%, it has indeed caused people’s concern about the 39 endangered species.
Concerns about species, "Many endangered sharks and rays are not commercially important, so they have not attracted the attention and attention they deserve, and require the protection of Australian governments at all levels
