No, most sharks are cold blooded and thus do not need to have a blubber layer to insulate their warm insides. Even the Great What Shark which can keep certain parts of the body (particularly the brain) at temperatures up to 14 °C (25 °F) above the surrounding water temperature, drops the core body temperature of its body match the surroundings when not actively feeding and thus does not need any blubber.
