Australian authorities are searching for the white shark that killed a man in Sydney's first fatal attack in 59 years.
Most of the city's beaches were shut on Thursday with swimmers banned from the water after Wednesday's attack.
Authorities say the male victim was mauled by a white shark just off Little Bay in east Sydney.
Shark attacks in Sydney are uncommon because the city has long had nets and other deterrents in its waters.
The state government said its shark experts had estimated the predator to be a white shark "at least three metres" in length based on footage of the incident taken by a member of the public.
Authorities managed to retrieve body parts from the water two hours after the attack.
