Measurements of size and weight were different and varied among species, ranging from 0.3 to 7 .5 kg in body weight and from 41.6 to I 05 cm in total length. Chiloscyllium punctatum were the most dominant species. The average size showed in the result, landed shark were abundance in juvenile stage from the total collection, especially for genus Carcharhinus and genus Sphyrna that landed, Carcharhinus sorrah, Carcharhinus sealei, Carcharhinus brevipinna and Sphyrna lewini is categorized as Endangered species and other sharks included in the landings are also categorized as Near Threatened.
