Only oviparous sharks lay eggs, as most bony fish do.
Neverthless, the list of oviparous sharks is vast. I will try no mention just a few species:
- Several species of bull sharks, like the horn shark (Heterodontus francisci).
- The crested bullhead shark (Heterodontus galeatus).
- The australian swellshark (Cephaloscyllium laticeps).
- The zebra shark (Stegostoma fasciatum).
- The swellshark (Cephaloscyllium ventriOSum).
- The striped catshark (Poroderma africanum).
(Most catshark species are oviparous.)
- The saddle carpetshark (Cirrhoscyllium japonicum).
(Also most carpetshark species are oviparous.)
However, the majority of sharks species are ovoviviparous.
