Page "Shark" Paragraph 55

Unlike most bony fish, sharks are K-selected reproducers, meaning that they produce a small number of well-developed young as opposed to a large number of poorly developed young.

Fecundity in sharks ranges from 2 to over 100 young per reproductive cycle.

Sharks mature slowly relative to many other fish.

For example, lemon sharks reach sexual maturity at around age 13 – 15.
