Australian Scientists are going to Breed 'Test Tube' Sharks to boost the population.

MERAIAH FOLEY from the Associated Press says:
"Embryos harvested from female sharks in the wild will be reared separately in artificial wombs designed to stop the ravenous fish from devouring each other before birth in what is known as "intrauterine cannibalism."

Scientists are still doing research to develop techniques for harvesting embryos from the wild sharks.

I should say this will be a very challenging job for scientists!!
