Answer:

However, sharks do not have such a bladder. Instead, they use several methods to maintain their buoyancy. These are 1) their sizeable livers, filled with an oil that contains squalene, 2) their fins and 3) their cartilaginous skeletons. The shark’s liver makes up as much as 25 % to 30% of the entire body mass of the animal.
