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.
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.
