[1] [2] The capsules are usually deposited at a depth of 20–30 m (66–98 ft), much deeper than the Port Jackson shark, though there is a single record of an egg being found only 8.6 m (28 ft) down. The time to hatching has been variously reported as 5 and 8–9 months; the newly emerged young measure 17–22 cm (6.7–8.7 in) long and ...
[8] [5] Hatchlings are considered large for sharks, reaching over 14 cm in length by the time they leave the egg case. [5] Bullhead shark eggs typically hatch after 7 to 12 months, depending on the species. [5] The female Japanese bullhead shark has been known to deposit their eggs in one location along with other females, called a "nest". [5]
Oviparous refers to many benthic sharks that lay their eggs on the seafloor and attach them to a substrate. The eggs have a hard and leathery shell surrounding them to serve as protection. The eggs feed solely on the yolk present within the casing. [9] Other species within this family are ovoviviparous. Ovoviviparous sharks give birth to live ...
Shark finning yields are estimated at 1.44 million metric tons (1.59 million short tons) for 2000, and 1.41 million metric tons (1.55 million short tons) for 2010. Based on an analysis of average shark weights, this translates into a total annual mortality estimate of about 100 million sharks in 2000, and about 97 million sharks in 2010, with a ...
The Port Jackson shark is a nocturnal species which peaks in activity during the late evening hours before midnight and decreases in activity before sunrise. [2] A study showed that captive and wild individuals displayed similar movement patterns and the sharks' movements were affected by time of day, sex, and sex-specific migrational behaviour.

[2] [3] One of the few sharks to exhibit parental care, female horn sharks in the wild pick up their eggs in their mouths and wedge them into crevices. [3] However, in captivity the eggs are simply dropped on the bottom and may later be cannibalized. [2] The eggs hatch in 6–10 months; at emergence the young measure 15–17 cm (5.9–6.7 in ...
