Abstract
The whale shark, Rhincodon typus Smith, 1828, has a circumglobal distribution in tropical and warm temperate seas. Since May 2003 it has been included under Appendix II of CITES, making the trade of this species regulated. The status of this species has since then been upgraded from “Data deficient” in 1996 to “Vulnerable” in 2000 by the IUCN. Currently it is protected under Schedule I Part II of the Wildlife Protection Act of India, 1972.
