The short answer is that we don’t know. The best data we have is for the shortfinned population of the species, which is the population that lives in the northern Indian Ocean in the Maldives.

Their lifespan is estimated at about 30 years.

How long do sharks live in the wild?

That’s not an entire lifetime, mind you, but it’s both species live long enough to reach sexual maturity and to have a chance to have more than one child—and so on. Shark populations are slow to recover from overfishing and culling, so the longer they live, the better—it gives species time to grow their numbers back up.

How long do albino sharks live?

How long do sharks live in captivity?

Shark species kept in captivity are often housed in large concrete pools or tanks that are not very large. These sharks rarely live longer than 20 years in captivity.

Sharks usually die from stress, disease, poor water quality, or when they are injured.
