I don't think that the shark is mentioned in The Bible, but i could be wrong. The ancient Greek work ketos and the Hebrew work tannin were used by early historians to denote any large marine animal, such as whales and sharks. In the Bible these words have been translated as 'great fish' or 'dragon'. Jonah was believed to have been swallowed by a whale, however it is unlikely that back then people knew the biological differences between whales and sharks. In the early 1700s Linnaeus said that he believed the fish responsible was the great white shark. Therefore there could be more references to the shark in the Bible but these may have been lost in the translation. I found this information in a book called 'The Sharks' by R Burgess from the 1970s.
