Tasselled wobbegong  (Eucrossorhinus dasypogon)

The tasselled wobbegong is not considered to be threatened in Australian waters; there are no targeted fisheries and the species does not appear in commercial or trawl fisheries as bycatch. Further more, a considerable portion of the shark's habitat is protected in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. However, expanding fisheries and coral reef destruction through pollution and dynamite fishing threatens the wobbegong in the rest of its range, especially in Papua New Guinea (1).

There are currently no conservation measures in place for this species (1).
