Synopsis (short abstract) Silky shark, Carcharhinus falciformis is an oceanic and coastal species with circumtropical distribution, found along continental shelves and slopes from the surface to 500 m of depth. The Panel considers that a global CITES Appendix II listing would be inconsistent with the proportionate risk to the species as a whole, because most of the silky shark population does not meet the CITES Appendix II listing criteria.
