Good stuff! My corrections are in red and my suggestions to sound more natural are in blue/grey.

In British and American English, "species" is used as both the singular and the plural version.

NOTES:
CAPITALS = CORRECTIONS
- Shark specie = talking literally about sharks, but ‘a specie of shark’ = talking about the Bigeye thresher
- ’30 metres in depth and arrive at 500m’ is not natural way of saying this. I would say “the bigeye thresher’s habitat starts from about 30 metres deep and can come as close as 500 metres to the surface”.
- “he gave barcelone university notice” – To me, giving notice = resigning from your job. ‘Contacted’ is better in this context.
Always happy to help an italki teacher! Any questions? Just ask ;)
