How does the water affect the poop? Is the reason it is so rare because it often dissolves before we can get a record of it?

Why is a whale shark pooping so rare? Also, wouldn’t the poop be bigger than simply filling a few tiny viles if the whale shark is the world’s largest fish? I also found it interesting that their diets consist mainly of tiny red crab larve, if they are so large. It must take a LOT of red crab larve to feed only one whale shark! If so, are the whale sharks endangering many red crabs?

If a whale shark can grow 12 meters long… what does that say about its poo?
