When a shark gets stoned to the gills, is it measured from the tail forwards or from the snout backwards?

It's actually from the internal point between the gills outward to the gills.

Sharks can only be found in two places on earth: the northern and southern hemispheres

What about the eastern and western hemispheres? I haven’t checked, so I’ll take your word for it.
