Thresher sharks are large mackerel sharks in the family Alopiidae and genus Alopias. The family contains three extant species. They occur in all temperate and tropical oceans of the world. All three species have been listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN since 2007. Thresher sharks are sought as big-game sport fish and are also hunted commercially for their meat, livers (for shark liver oil), skin (for shagreen) and fins. Despite being active predatory fish, they do not appear to be a threat to humans.
