They are ovoviviparous; they give birth to live young.
Great White Sharks have live birth, even though they are fish. They give birth to 1 to 3 live young but the mother does not care for them.

∙ 12y agoAs far as I know, nobody has ever seen a Great White shark give birth, but from dissection and studies of their reproductive physiology we do know that they give birth to live young, rather than laying eggs. Whether the developing White sharks are oophagous or even adelphophagous, like they are in another Lamnoid (the Sandtiger shark), remains to be seen.
