In normal temperatures, the sharks emerged from the egg cases after 125 days. But in 31C waters, they emerged after 100 days. The researchers also measured the fitness of the baby sharks, and found that it peaked at 29C but then fell sharply at 31C... Weaker sharks were less efficient hunters ... which could then have a knock-on effect across the coral reefs where they live, upsetting the balance of the ecosystem.
