The family Nautilidae are found throughout tropical Asia Pacific region, but restricted to deep fore-reef slopes from 200–700 m in depth. Nautilus pompilius has the most widespread distribution, with other species having a more limited distribution.</br>The low productivity of nautilids (late maturity, long lifespan, low fecundity and slow growth with no larval phase) and the major decline (70−90 percent) in fishery independent CPUE recorded at locations where fishing has occurred for greater than 10 years, was determined by the Panel as meeting the criteria for CITES Appendix II listing. </br> <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5932e.pdf">Read the <i>Report of the fifth FAO Expert Advisory Panel for the Assessment of Proposals to Amend Appendices I and II of CITES Concerning Commercially-exploited Aquatic Species, Rome, 6-10 June 2016.</i></a></p> See the complete series of Expert Panel Summary Proposals: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/cd2b44c7-1b07-4c6d-bbdc-8e6927ee8..."> Expert Panel Summary Proposal no. 42: Silky shark <i>Carcharhinus falciformis</i></a></li> <li><a href=" http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/53039e5a-506b-4026-8e55-f61049624..."> Expert Panel Summary Proposal no. 43: Bigeye thresher shark <i>Alopias superciliosus </i></a></li> <li><a href=" http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/0216ff9a-c257-47f7-b221-7dacfc1d2..."> Expert Panel Summary Proposal no. 44: Sicklefin devil ray <i>Mobula tarapacana</i>; Spinetail devil ray <i>Mobula japonica</i></a></li> <li><a href=" http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/c2d13253-dc21-4d44-80af-57bf76250..."> Expert Panel Summary Proposal no. 45: Raya <i>Potamotrygon motoro </i></a></li> <li><a href=" http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/5c1f23bd-cd99-4c1f-9b97-c86535c13..."> Expert Panel Summary Proposal no. 46: Banggai cardinalfish <i>Pterapogon kauderni </i></a></li> <li><a href=" http://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/ef7788f1-2983-46d2-b010-7d0bd48a5..."> Expert Panel Summary Proposal no. 47: Clarion angelfish <i>Holacanthus clarionensis</i></a></li> </ul>
