Justification

The Straight-tooth Weasel Shark (Paragaleus tengi) is an inshore, small shark found from Japan to southern China in the western Pacific. It reaches about 92 cm in length, is viviparous and gives birth to litters of two pups, but little else is known of its biology. This species is taken in small numbers as bycatch in various fisheries throughout its range, but no data are available to determine population trends. Insufficient information is currently available to assess this species beyond Data Deficient. Population studies and catch monitoring needs to be undertaken.
