Scientists Discover Why Sharks Can Swim So Fast
MediaSight writes "Shortfin mako sharks can shoot through the ocean at up to 50 miles per hour (80 kilometres an hour). Now a trick that helps them to reach such speeds has been discovered — the sharks can raise their scales to create tiny wells across the surface of their skin, reducing drag like the dimples on a golf ball."
... that we need to figure out how to replicate this on the outside encasings of lasers so they don't slow down the frickin' sharks?
Indeed it was. We've known that the lasers make them go fast for years. I mean, come on guys, the lasers go at the speed of light, of course they make the sharks go fast!

Nothing complicated here. They move fast because they're hungry.
End of lesson. You may press the button.
Fail - you got first post on a sharks column and made no mention of frickin' lasers.
Of course sharks raise their scales, it is called "goosebumps". That water is cold!
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
