Shark in aquarium
Shark in aquarium. Visitors watching a sand tiger shark (Carcharhias taurus) through the viewing window of an aquarium. This is a large coastal species of shark found in all warm seas. The maximum recorded length is 3.2 metres, and the maximum weight is 160 kilograms. It is the only shark known to gulp air to maintain neutral buoyancy, and it lives at all depths from the surface to 200m. Sand tiger sharks produce one or two young every two years. Due to this low rate of reproduction their population is vulnerable to over-fishing.
