Carcharhinus falciformisCarcharhinus falciformisCarcharhinus falciformisin olmayan bir erkek örneği, 2 Kasım 2021'de Samandağ sahili açıklarında (İskenderun Körfezi, kuzeydoğu Levant Denizi, Türkiye) ticari bir paraketa teknesi ile yakalandı. Bu kayıt, türün Türkiye'deki dördüncü gözlemidir. Türün çok nadir görüldüğü yerlerde, ipeksi köpekbalığının dağılım aralığı boyunca kıyı oluşumlarını izlemek çok önemlidir.
