Ya never know. It could have come into the shallows because it was dieing or possibly it was caught by deep sea fishermen and was killed by the aquarium. Who knows. The japanese are generally pathetic with anything alive so quite possibly killed it.

what is that supposed to mean?
 
they caught it for testing on it. They hoped to breed it. but in the process it died in their tank. It was on the verge of dieing anyways........ It is sad though.

completely agree with brendon. a thought no one considered... they might just have got lost. happens with animals all the time, sometimes they find their way back, or sometimes they die. We absolutely know NOTHING about them, so we wouldn't know what it was doing in shallow water. We dont know what is going on in the deep. Unless something is happening down there like temp change which are making them under threat of species, i doubt one shark is going to make a difference to the population. How do you think we know stuff about natural history today. Explorers went around and killed a male and female of everything in the discovery times, and even now they are. You think darwin felt bad when he was going around the galapogos taking specimens of galapogos birds and bugs and what not. no. It's a unique opportunity to learn something we know nothing about.

Whale meat and shark fin soup ring a bell?? There is a whaling ship south of Aus now that is stuck and is probably gonna need help from green peace which where there originally to stop them. Green peace is pathetic too. I say leave them there to suffer.

if they really wanted ot breed the thing they would have had to recreate what it would have been like in the deeps of the ocean.. which would involve creating that much pressure and even of they tried this they/we still dont know anything about them including their breeding habits
 
cool shark.
another explination for the shark being close to the surface... if it was old and/or diseased, many fish ailments affect the fish's swim bladder. this will cause the fish to either sink to the bottom or rise to the top of the tank. ever wonder why many salt fish sink when they die whereas freshwater usually float?

it is possible that this big guy had a swimbladder issue that a pair of depends couldnt help. it was a good opportunity to see an ancient monster.
