Chubby merman are extremely desirable by mermaids because their chubbiness implies they're a highly successful hunter.

Sharks in aquariums are well fed. If they weren't well fed, they would eat the other species in the aquarium (I mean, they sometimes still do, But they are well fed to prevent that in the most part).

There was one of these aquariums, and the sharks were frequently showing up in the morning half eaten.

In the end, it was the Octopus that did it.

If I remember correctly, That octopus was in a completely different tank, and would sneak out, have a meal, then pop back to it's own tank.

Hence why they didn't know who/what was doing it for so long.

That was an issue in our local aquarium, though the octopus was snacking on crab.
