Sharks have a role as the top predator in the ecosystem whose job is to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. The existence of sharks is difficult for the ecosystem, if the shark has difficulty extinction then the balance of the ecosystem becomes difficult. The extinction of sharks is increasing due to human activities and the higher market demand for shark fins. The purpose of this study was to inventory, manage, and conservation status of sharks landed at TPI Pantai Utara Jawa Tengah. Sampling was done by purposive sampling, namely the fleet that landed sharks in TPI Pantai Utara Jawa Tengah. This research was conducted from June to September 2019. Based on the research results, five types of sharks were obtained, namely Carcharhinus brevipinna, Carcharinus longimanus, Carcharhinus sealei, Chiloscyllium punctatum, and Alopias pelagicus. From information obtained from fisheries in various TPI Pantai Utara Jawa Tengah, for small scale fisheries, all parts of sharks will be used, in general, fishermen sell sharks to collectors as a whole. While for large-scale fisheries/factories, they generally only use shark fins and move them back to the ocean where their fins have been taken. Based on the challenging status of IUCN, 1 species is included in the critical category, 1 type is included in the threatened category, 2 types are included in the vulnerable category, and 1 type is included in the near-threatened category.
