TheWoWDBWhen you kill a shark and get a shark jaw, you only get one. You have to remember to dismantle it for the teeth. Otherwise, you're going to kill a lot of sharks and wonder why it's taking so long.
--ETA
Good news everyone!
A bug fix report says you can now loot up to 10 unopened thresher jaws. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/7207170/Patch_505_Hotfixes_-10_5_2012

This quest is like pulling teeth.
Everytime to get the quest item "Tresher Jaw", you have to use it in order to get the teeth. You can only get one "Tresher Jaw" at a time so that means you need to use it everytime you kill one.

Description
Crabbing is our big money-maker, but we send all kinds of goods back around the wall. Oils, plants, even rare minerals - the sea's bounty is rich out here! Right now the big craze in the markets back home is thresher teeth. Apparently they make great necklaces? Threshers are all over the Shelf of Mazu to the west. Bring me lots of teeth!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- On the Crab
I just got word that a string of pots we dropped this morning hit it BIG. We're on the crab! Problem is, the rips are getting stronger and we lost track of some of the pots. They're just sitting out there, filled with spiky blue GOLD! I need you back out there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reeltime Strategy
I never thought I'd see the day, but for the first time since... well, EVER, Master Angler Ju Lien asked for some help with his lines. Apparently the sea is going crazy today and he can't keep up. See if you can give him a hand. He's fishing just south of here.
