 However, this may need to be reassessed as it was last assessed before the identification of the Borneo broadfin shark ("Lamiopsis tephrodes").It is likely that misidentifying Borneo broadfin sharks as broadfin sharks could have skewed the population numbers.Therefore, it is possible that the actual status of the broadfin shark population has been recorded as healthier than it truly is, and they may belong in the critically endangered list.
