Sharks cannot swim backwards. Unlike the fins of telelosts (bony fish), sharks' pectoral fins do not bend upwards, and so they are unable to back up. Sharks are also unable to stop swimming suddenly.

How do whales use osmosis?

Water for ReplacementSalt water fish are perfectly adapted to their salty environment and need osmosis to live. The replacement fluid taken on to replace the lost water is desalinated by a process known as diffusion. Diffusion allows fish to live in a state of constant osmosis.If a saltwater fish is placed in an environment that does not contain the excess levels of salt outside, such as in freshwater, their natural inclination to pull in water and dispel all salt from that water will result in the fish exploding with water that is not being removed from them by their environment.Water OverloadFreshwater fish, on the other hand, are subjected to a reverse effect. The salt levels inside their bodies are higher than the surrounding water outside because that water is constantly being drawn inward by the salt content in their system. Freshwater fish do not drink water as a result. If placed in a saltwater environment, they would literally drown in a sea of water because they are not geared to pull in extra water.
