Home›Fish›Conservation Status›VulnerableBrowse ByVulnerableConservation status groups species by how close each one is to extinction, using the category scale most conservation scientists rely on, running from least concern through near threatened, vulnerable, endangered and critically endangered, to extinct in the wild or extinct. Assessments come from bodies such as the IUCN Red List and are re-checked as a species population changes. A species with no current assessment recorded here is not shown as any of these categories.FactsVulnerableSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1VulnerableFilter Results35 entriesCommon GroupAllAncient And Relict Fish (Coelacanth, Lungfish) (2)Carp And Minnows (Cypriniformes) (2)Catfish (Siluriformes) (1)Cichlids, Anemonefish And Damselfish (2)Other Bony Fish (8)Perch-Like Fishes (Perciformes) (7)Salmon And Trout (Salmoniformes) (1)Sharks, Rays And Chimaeras (12)Everyday GroupAllAncient And Relict Fish (Coelacanth, Lungfish) (2)Carp And Minnows (Cypriniformes) (2)Catfish (Siluriformes) (1)Cichlids, Anemonefish And Damselfish (2)Other Bony Fish (8)Perch-Like Fishes (Perciformes) (7)Salmon And Trout (Salmoniformes) (1)Sharks, Rays And Chimaeras (12)HabitatAllCoral Reef (3)Estuary (2)Freshwater (4)Intertidal Zone (2)Kelp Forest (1)Lake (3)Mangrove Forest (1)Marine (11)Neritic Zone (3)Open Ocean (4)River (8)Salt Marsh (1)Sea Ice (1)Seagrass Meadow (1)Where It LivesAllAfghanistan (1)Albania (2)Algeria (2)Angola (5)Antigua and Barbuda (5)Argentina (5)Armenia (1)Australia (6)Austria (2)Bahamas (6)Bahrain (1)Bangladesh (3)Barbados (5)Belarus (2)Belgium (6)Belize (4)Benin (4)Bhutan (3)Bolivia (2)Botswana (2)Brazil (11)Bulgaria (3)Burundi (2)Cabo Verde (4)Cambodia (2)Cameroon (3)Canada (8)Chile (4)China (7)Colombia (7)Comoros (2)Costa Rica (5)Cote d'Ivoire (4)Cuba (5)Czechia (2)Democratic Republic of the Congo (4)Denmark (4)Djibouti (3)Dominica (5)Dominican Republic (6)Ecuador (2)Egypt (2)Equatorial Guinea (2)Eritrea (4)Europe (3)Federated States of Micronesia (2)France (6)Gabon (3)Gambia (3)Germany (2)Ghana (3)Greece (6)Grenada (4)Guatemala (3)Guinea (3)Guinea-Bissau (3)Guyana (3)Haiti (3)Honduras (3)India (4)Indonesia (5)Ireland (4)Israel (6)Jamaica (2)Japan (4)Kenya (8)Liberia (2)Madagascar (6)Malaysia (4)Mauritania (2)Mauritius (5)Mexico (9)Mozambique (5)Netherlands (2)Nicaragua (2)Nigeria (3)North America (6)Norway (7)Philippines (2)Poland (3)Portugal (5)Republic of the Congo (4)Saint Kitts and Nevis (3)Saint Lucia (2)Senegal (2)Seychelles (4)Sierra Leone (2)South Africa (6)Spain (5)Suriname (2)Sweden (4)Taiwan (5)Tanzania (4)Thailand (4)Togo (2)United Arab Emirates (3)United Kingdom (4)United States (5)Venezuela (4)Vietnam (2)Showing the 100 most common of 130 options.DietAllCarnivore (24)Filter Feeder (1)Omnivore (6)Piscivore (2)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (13)Marine (26)Living or ExtinctAllYes (35)ThreatsAllInvasive and Other Problematic Species, Genes and Diseases (2)Pollution (1)Relationship to PeopleAllDomesticated (1)Farmed or Commercially Raised (2)Hunted or Fished (24)Invasive or Introduced Species (2)Kept as Pets (5)CITES AppendixAllAppendix II (8)Not Listed (26)NatureServe RankAllG1 Critically Imperiled (1)G2 Imperiled (1)G3 Vulnerable (2)G5 Secure (7)GNR Unranked (5)EcosystemAllAntarctic Peninsula (1)Arctic Ocean (1)Caspian Sea (1)Coral Reef Systems (6)Great Lakes (1)Gulf of California (1)Kruger National Park (1)TaxonomyAllActinopterygii (3)Carcharhinus (4)Chiloscyllium (2)Chondrichthyes (5)Chordata (1)Cichlidae (1)Cyprinidae (1)Cyprinodontiformes (1)Cyprinus (1)Gadidae (1)Gadus (1)Istiophoridae (2)Oreochromis (1)Osmeriformes (1)Osphronemidae (1)Perciformes (5)Siluriformes (1)Syngnathiformes (1)Tetraodontiformes (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 35Amargosa River pupfishVulnerableAmerican PaddlefishVulnerableAtlantic CodVulnerableAtlantic Sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus)VulnerableAtlantic TarponVulnerableAustralian graylingVulnerableBagarius bagariusVulnerableBlackfin IcefishVulnerableBlacktip Reef SharkVulnerableBlacktip sharkVulnerableBlue MarlinVulnerableBull SharkVulnerableBurmese bamboo sharkVulnerableChimaera MonstrosaVulnerableCommon CarpVulnerableCommon dentexVulnerableGoliath GrouperVulnerableGraceful sharkVulnerableGreat White SharkVulnerableGrey bamboo sharkVulnerableHaddockVulnerableHemiscyllium galeiVulnerableIvanacara bimaculataVulnerableLined SeahorseVulnerableMozambique TilapiaVulnerableMrigal carpVulnerableMurray codVulnerableNursehoundVulnerableOcean SunfishVulnerablePacific AngelsharkVulnerablePale-edged stingrayVulnerableRed SnapperVulnerableSailfishVulnerableSiamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens)VulnerableWeedy SeadragonVulnerableSources1.
