Best Answer

yes so save them!
A majority of these sharks are caught before they reach maturity at over 20 years of age. Because of overfishing and their demand as a delicacy in countries like China, Taiwan and much of Southeast Asia, they are considered to be a vulnerable species. So basically yes, Its endangered.
