Scientists sequenced the genomes of 89 great white sharks sampled worldwide.

They found that the sharks were segregated into three distinct populations.

These groups are found in three locations: the North Atlantic/Mediterranean , Indo-Pacific and North Pacific .

The findings suggest that if one of these populations goes extinct, it cannot be replaced.
