scientists are studying shark skin to come up with a material to put on the bottom of boats so they don't get barnacles. Sharks never have barnacles on their skin. this is not because they swim fast but because there are tiny rides in their skin. Shark teeth as I've heard so far are used for nothing but necklaces and novelties. It doesn't hurt the shark though. Sharks have many rows of teeth, they lose them all the time. eventually after the teeth are lost they end up on shore where people can find them.
I hope this helped! :)
