Excluding predation, any data on the hatch rate of Stegostoma tigrinum? What about the survival rate from 0-12 months. Assuming near optimal care.

Well aware of adult maximum size, display is over 10,000 gallons.

For captive bred, it seems the hatch rate is ~25% at the moment,* though sometimes the hatchlings are manually assisted in leaving the eggs: the 0-12 month mortality rate with near optimal care seems to be ~53% for males and ~59% for females.** This is supported by the estimated wild population first year survival/mortality rates in the first link as well (they estimated ~60% first year mortality in the wild).
