GREAT WHITE SHARK

Scientists also don't know how great whites get down to business — in fact, their mating
behavior has never been witnessed, as is the case with most other shark species. "Observing
white shark mating is even more difficult than other species, because white sharks are quite rare,
it's dangerous to be in the water with them outside of a cage, and they are often in places where
the water is cold and murky," Domeier told LiveScience.

Research has shown that the species reaches sexual maturity at age 15, and that males have a
modified pelvic fin called a clasper to impregnate females (internally). Based on observations of
other shark species, researchers believe male white sharks must first bite their mates near their
heads or pectoral fins, giving them enough leverage to insert their claspers.

Impregnated females then migrate for two years, a behavior that's likely linked to their 18-month
gestation period. After giving birth to live young, which spend the first years of their lives in
coastal waters, females return to their breeding grounds to mate again. Males, it seems, return
every other year to their breeding grounds off Guadalupe Island.

The Birthing Process

Here is what we know so far regarding the great white shark reproduction process. The great
white shark is ovoviviparous. In other words, a shark grows inside an egg and hatches inside the
mother. Afterward, the shark pup is born. While they are still in the womb, the shark pup will
feed on the unfertilized eggs in order to keep growing. This method of feeding is known as
oophagy.

The gestation period takes longer than what we are used to. It is estimated that the whale shark
pregnancy cycle is about 12 to 18 months. The size of the litter can vary for great white sharks,
but the common range is about two to ten pups. However, there have been reports of litters
carrying around 17 pups.

When they are born, great white shark pups will measure around 5 feet (1.5 meters) and weigh
about 77 pounds (35 kilograms). These sharks grow slowly and take considerable time to mature
and produce offspring. Males are able to reach maturity at the age of 9 or 10, while females
mature at ages 14-16. It is believed by scientists that these sharks can live up to 30 years. With
that in mind, great white shark reproduction can only occur during a relatively short timeframe.

Because of the long gestation period, it’s possible that female great whites give birth every other
year, taking some time to rest after mating. This low reproductive rate and slow growth to
maturity are concerns to great white conservationists. Scientists are interested in learning more
about the shark’s reproductive habits so that they will know better what conservation methods
are needed.
