Question

How large is the largest known great white shark?

Answer 1

The largest predatory shark is the Great White (Carcharodon carcharias), said to reach lengths of over 9 metres (30 feet). Until very recently, the largest scientifically-accepted Great White was a 7-metre (23-foot) long specimen captured off Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea, in April 1987. Unfortunately, later investigation revealed that its length was exaggerated by about 25%. A reputedly comparably-sized Great White captured off Kangaroo Island, South Australia, in April 1987 remains the largest predatory shark reliably reported, but since only the head and pectoral fins were retained by the fisherman who caught it, scientific verification of its actual length could not be made. The next-largest Great White on record in the scientific literature is a 6.4-metre specimen harpooned off Cuba in May 1945, but this measurement, too, has been called into question. To the best of my knowledge, the largest Great White recorded in the scientific literature is a 6.1-metre long female captured off Prince Edward Island in August 1983.

The largest great white ever documented, caught off the coast of Cuba, measured 6.4 m (21 ft).

The world record Great White Shark was caught in 1948 and was 21 feet long, but the average length of an adult is 12-16 feet.

Most of the largest sharks are found in South Australia. The largest one ever recorded was 6.4m (21ft) long, and weighed 3312kg! The maximum length able to grow is thought to be 25ft. Though some people claim to have seen sharks as long as 31ft.
