Tail
Join yarn where you changed color on the body. Crochet 3 ch, then work back from the 2nd chain from the hook: sl st, sc. Then crochet 4 ch, and from the 2nd chain from the hook work: sl st, sc, hdc. Join 1 sc higher.
Dorsal Fin
Join yarn 1 sc below the MR, chain 4, then from the 2nd chain from the hook work: sl st, sc, hdc. Join into the MR and make a sl st. Fasten off and hide the yarn tail inside the body.
Seamless Crochet Method
Work round 6 following the pattern. Do not cut the blue yarn; bring it to the outside. Join the white yarn and finish the body. Return to the blue yarn and crochet the tail. Fasten off, cut the yarn, leaving 30-40 cm. Use a needle to bring the yarn to the shark's back and crochet the dorsal fin. Fasten off, cut, and hide the yarn tail inside the body.
