Abstract
    Since 1996, we were confronted with an uncommon birth of shark: young hatched from eggs laid by a female shark, who had never encountered males. Even though gynogenesis hypothesis is still unknown among sharks, hatchings continue, and there is now a second generation. Our goal is to provide new information about these hatchings, their growth, the phenomenon, but also about the experimentation to solve it.
