One researcher, Dr. Steven Springer, even claims that his finger was perhaps mistaken as a rival sibling. The researcher was bitten on the finger as he reached into the uterus of a shark! Because adult female sharks are known to mate with multiple males, internal competition from sibling cannibalism could tip the scales favoring sharks who have offspring with rapid growth rates, therefore giving an advantage to larger and more robust sharks. Perhaps, by holding onto a few baby sharks for a longer period of time and letting them consume their siblings may actually increase survival rates in the long run by protecting the last two during the most vulnerable stage of their life.
Next time you watch Finding Nemo , and when you head to the theaters on July 17, to watch the sequel Finding Dory , hopefully you will understand the underlying issues that Bruce and Chum are facing when feeling guilty about eating fish.
Researchers currently believe them to be oophagous, meaning that they eat their siblings while still in the egg form. Thank you Jim Gelsleichter for pointing this out.
Disney has always been great about researching facts about the animals or cultures they use in their movies. They are also very sensitive to children, cultures, lifestyles, etc. They remove their guests and audiences from reality.
They portray carnivorous animals even extinct species as having feelings and compassion and they even go as far as to present some cultures as kind and loving when they are not. The goal of this movie, and many others, is not to teach kids science, but instead to put a captivating story out there. I think they did a great job. One more thing, Disney is really big on pushing some agendas. One of them is acceptance and breaking traditional thought they call it stereotyping …..
I think they did just that with this film. NOT Disney! Pixar is affiliated with Disney, and Disney is their publisher, but Pixar develops stories and characters on their own. Disney staff have nothing to do with it.

Despite loving a good feeding frenzy, he makes a brave attempt at holding Bruce back when he goes on the attack. Anchor is first seen in the film when Bruce brought Marlin and Dory to the meeting. He was seen swimming around in circles with Chum in the sunken submarine and displayed a frustration due to Bruce keeping them waiting.
Fortunately, Anchor does not eat the two fish. The next scene is shown with Anchor and the Bruce and Chum reciting their club pledge with Anchor adding that dolphins are not their friends.
After this Bruce asks if they had brought a "fish friend" for Step Five. Anchor happily says he has brought his and raises a fin to reveal a small green fish with huge eyes shaking in fear. As the meeting progresses, Anchor as well as the other two sharks and Dory find out that Marlin is a clownfish which excites him, and ends up getting hit in the eye by an excited Chum.
As Marlin starts to tell his joke, which he keep messing up on he begins to lose interest. He then looks somewhat relieved when Marlin stops telling his joke and swims to an unknown object, and nods his head when Bruce whispers to him, "For a clownfish, he's really not that funny," referring to Marlin.
As Anchor turns around, Marlin explains that his son was taken by divers, to which Anchor says that the diver was probably American. This hints that the hammerhead is not too fond of Americans for some reason. The next scene shows him give a confused look as Marlin and Dory carry a diver's mask over to them and watches as the two fishes fight for said mask.
After Dory says that she had never eaten a fish, Bruce and his friends applaud her and Chum accidentally keeps hitting Marlin with his fin while clapping. After asking who was to go next, Bruce looks at Marlin, asking what his "problem" was. Bruce then pushed Marlin onto the "stage" when the annoyed clownfish said that he didn't have a problem. As Marlin introduced himself as a clownfish, Anchor and Chum got very excited, which ended up with Bruce pushing Chum out of the way so to get close to Marlin and urged him to tell a joke.
However, as Marlin starts to rant during his joke, Bruce starts to lose interest. He then murmurs to Anchor that even as a clownfish, Marlin wasn't that funny.
When Marlin swims to a scuba diver's mask, he tells the sharks that Nemo was taken from him. Bruce is touched when he finds out that Marlin was looking for Nemo. The shark then breaks down into tears and confesses that he never knew his father, which in turn got him a couple of hugs from Anchor and Chum, who tried to cheer their mate up.
Meanwhile, Marlin and Dory find the scuba diver's mask and as Dory is about to ask the sharks to read what it says, Marlin pulls on the mask and Dory pulls back. This makes Marlin let go by accident and the mask hits Dory on the face, causing some blood to spill into the water. Bruce, having just watched all of this, begins to ask Dory if she's okay, but is cut off when he smells her blood.
Bruce's natural instincts kick in, his eyes go from a bright blue to a pitch black color, and just as he is about to eat his two fish friends, he is pinned to the wall by Anchor and Chum who quickly decided to intervene and save Marlin and Dory. Finally, Bruce gets free from Anchor and Chum and charges after Marlin and Dory, shouting that he's having fish tonight. He then goes on a hunt after Marlin and Dory, having a few close calls until Marlin and Dory swim into a room and the door closes, making Bruce slam into the door painfully.
As the terrified fish look for an escape, Bruce begins to ram against the door, loosening the bolts. Just as Dory and Marlin escape the submarine, Bruce crashes through an escape latch and continues to chase after the fish, finally cornering them in a torpedo tube.
In his frenzy, Bruce begins to ram the opening in a futile attempt to get to the trapped fish, nearly crushing Anchor and Chum as they apologized. While stuck inside, Marlin tells Dory that they have to get the mask from Bruce, which had gotten caught in his teeth during the chase.
Dory then finds a way to release the torpedo and sends it into Bruce's mouth, momentarily lodging it into his throat, during which Dory and Marlin grab the mask and retreat into the tube.
Angered, Bruce swings his head and successfully gets the torpedo out of his mouth, not noticing that he has sent it flying towards one of the active mines. Chum calls out to Bruce, who then takes notice. Now back to his old self while fearing for their lives, he yells for his fish friends to swim away.
