Deep-sea sharks have a unique ability to survive in water of depths between 600m to 1000m. The secret to their survival in such extreme conditions with poor oxygen and high pressure is their liver. A shark’s liver can account for 25 to 30% of its total body weight.Squalene is a low-density compound often stored in the bodies of cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, which lack a swim bladder and therefore must reduce their body density with oils and fats.
