The scene where old fisherman's nibbled head in the wrecked boat, added as an afterthought, was staged in the swimming pool of the movie's editor, Verna Fields.
Richard Kiel as Jaws appeared in The spy who loved me and Moonraker.
Female because they said here she comes, at one point in the movie.
The movie was filmed in several places e.g.
Universal Studios Hollywood
Underwater scenes were filmed off the coast of South Australia
Other ocean scenes were filmed in U.S. waters (locations I don't know)
At last, an answser here! Scanning thru the JAWS LOG, about the making of the film, the schedule and budget doubled. 5 1/2 months was mentioned as when they got back (from hell), though I couldn't specifically find the shooting time. That fits with Eight weeks (48 days). being a "typical" feature film production time; Jaws, being a major feature, would be more. This doesn't include post production (editing, effects, music, etc) Titanic (1997) had a 6 month (163 day) shoot. UPDATE:"...grueling five-month shoot on Martha's Vineyard." Spielberg was only able to get a handful of the planned shark shots filmed over the course of the excruciating five-month shoot. Therefore, he was forced to substantively change the film on the fly. "Bruce" or "The Great White Turd" as Spielberg called the mechanical shark, was a major problem. Shooting at sea led to many delays. http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/jaws30th.php

See the Related Link below for the imdb entry for Jaws(1975), including a complete list of the cast and crew.
In the original "Jaws" 5 (6 if you count the dog) were killed by the shark.
In order of death:
1. Crissy
2. the Dog
3. Alex Kintner
4. Ben Gardner *
5. Weird guy in the pond
6. Quint
* I would add whoever was in the boat with Ben Gardner. That adds at least one more
The name of Quint's boat is Orca. (Quint is the "shark hunter" played by Robert Shaw in the 1975 film).
Three mechanical sharks -- all nicknamed Bruce, after Steven Spielberg's lawyer -- were used in the making of the movie Jaws.
No real sharks were used, except for the footage of the shark attacking the underwater cage. That was filmed (on a completely separate location, in Australia) with a real shark (although the cage was very tiny, and the diver inside who was standing in for Matt Hooper/Richard Dreyfuss was a little person (like, 3 feet tall). The shark was only average sized: the tiny cage and diver make it look gigantic.
Of course not... Some sharks, as the lemon shark, can be quite docile. Others, as the Great white, are known to not survive in captivity. (good thing for them, otherwise we would probably be able to see them in dubious aquariums...)
Sharks do lack real bones except for in there jaw. Without jaw bones sharks would not be able to survive because they would not be able to eat.
