Currently, the genus Sphyrna is composed by nine species, with six of them occurring in Brazilian waters: Sphyrna media, Sphyrna mokarran, Sphyrna tiburo, Sphyrna tudes, Sphyrna lewini, S.

The species of the genus Sphyrna are usually identified in longline fishing logbooks only as "hammerhead", which hinders the understanding of their geographic distribution, abundance, and importance in fisheries catches, thus contributing to a higher risk for these species (Gallagher et al., 2014).
