The Ganges shark is primarily found in shallow tropical freshwater, brackish water, and coastal marine estuary habitats bordering the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean. Most records of the shark come from the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India. Very little is known about the reproductive biology of Ganges sharks, but it is assumed that they are viviparous, have multiple mates in a breeding season, and live about 12β15 years, similar to other sharks in the family Carcharhinidae.
