I am unable to remember the title or author or a futuristic sci-fi that had the main protagonist with a head implant that allows others to 'see' what he sees.
there are also modified great white sharks (maybe in space) that are passive until a point in the story when they get blood, then revert back to the killer shark frenzy ways.

any ideas are helpful and welcome in this search....
 
Not sure about the implant bit but the shark bit rings a faint bell with Alastair Reynolds' Chasm City in which one thread had, I think, a dolphin in a colonisation spaceship modified to be intelligent and now turned crazy and psychopathic. Possibly?
 
Long shot here, but Armed Memory by Jim Young is a cyberpunk SF novel from 20 years ago...the bad guys are, to borrow from Amazon, "a killer species of shark-humans" (it involves genetic manipulation). I read this in the 90s, and it's just so-so, but thought I'd throw it out there on the odd chance this might be your book. Best of luck with the search, CC

edit - oh darn...I don't think this happens in space, *sigh*...sorry!
 
That's not a problem, I'll write it! Psionic Killer Sharks in space, what's not to like?
 
In all seriousness, it's not "Deep Black Space" by me, is it? It was in an anthology called Sharkpunk a couple of years ago. William Gibson's "Johnny Mneumonic" had a bionic dolphin. Would that work?

You do do space sharks don't you Toby. Aren't there sharks in the first Cpt Smith novel and he has to go outside the ship to shoot them with a machine gun of some kind? (I loved that idea).
