How do sharks find mates?

First as a female reaches a certain point of maturity, she then attracts her mate by releasing hormonal chemicals. Depending on the shark, the chemical may vary.

After the chemical release, the males will start rounding and circling the female shark to show interest. Some of the time there will be a fight over a female because more than one male shark is interested in mating with the female. The dominant or overriding male will then mate with the female.

Amazingly, sometimes male sharks will bite the female to show interest. Because of strong, thick skin the male mostly never hurts the female.

A few things that could attract a shark to a human is blood (which can also cause a feeding frenzy) and a human paddling out to catch some waves (Surfing) looks like a seal so that can also attract sharks, however sharks have a keen sense of smell so it is more likely that blood will attract sharks.
