Open encyclopedia reference
The Borneo broadfin shark (Lamiopsis tephrodes) is a species of ground shark in the family Carcharhinidae, occurring in inshore waters of the western central and northwestern Pacific Ocean. It is associated with turbid estuarine environments on the continental shelf at depths of less than 50 m and is taken in a variety of coastal fisheries. The species has been assessed as Endangered under criteria A2d on the IUCN Red List due to suspected population reductions driven by intensive fishing pressure across its range.
