This is excellent news,and a great result for Deep Sea World.I remember chatting with the Head Aquarist on the 17/04/2007 about,these Sharks and he said that they need atleast another 2 or 3 years before the would be of breeding age!Looks like he wasn't far off at all.
Not one, but in fact 19 pups and could now be considered as a world's first captive birth.
