Taxonomy. First record from Lebanon as Centrophorus granulosus, Müller et Henle by Gruvel (1931: 75); recently recorded as Centrophorus granulosus by Colloca & Lelli (2012: 13); as Centrophorus granulosus by Lteif (2015: 61), and as Centrophorus uyato (Rafinesque 1810) by Lteif et al. (2017). Recent unpublished records from Tripoli ( 26 September 2005) and Sarafand ( 13 September 2017).

Conservation. IUCN: Global (DD: 31 January 2006); Med. (CR: A4b, 25 March 2016). Capture and threats: FIT, FIB. Occurrence: Common. Significant decline in the last two decades. Medium priority for conservation action.
