They each have different defense

Why is killing sharks bad? Sharks play a vital role in the oceans in a way that the average fish does not. Most sharks serve as top predators at the marine food pyramid, and so play a critical role in ocean ecosystems. Directly or indirectly they regulate the natural balance of these ecosystems, at all levels, and so are an integral part of them. As they usually hunt old, weak or sick prey, they help to keep the prey population in good condition, healthy and strong, enabling these more naturally

Species that dwell on the ocean floor have developed the ability to bottom-feed. Others

they reported tracking 15 sharks within the ocean. Co-founders Nathan and David Garrison created the Sharkbanz. The bracelet sends magnetic waves to deter the sharks from a field of 3-6ft. It can prevent the most common shark attacks, hit and run for swimmers, surfers and others. It has been tested on Bull, Nurse, Lemon, Whitetip, Blacktip, Caribbean Reef, Bonnethead, and small Tiger sharks(sharkbanz.com). Believe it or not, some sharks are threatened.
