At other extinction events deep water dwelling creatures had good chances to survive. Also sharks don’t have complex food needs, are widespread over the globe and procreate without much ado (no familie structures and such, their approach is quantity based)… They will do fine.
Trawling doesn’t discriminate and the sharks are usually injured so badly that they die a slow painful death after being thrown overboard again, that’s if they’re not dead already.
They may not survive us unfortunately
They pretty sure may and pretty sure will.

I hope you are right, 100 million sharks a year is a lot of sharks to lose
Aren’t most of those only a few species of shark?

They are likely not totally immune to the effects of climate change, however
