Do they ever attempt to explain the lineage?

I know there's some things implied, but it's been a while since I've seen 2, 3, or 4. Are there sharks in the sequels simply supposed to be offspring?

Not in the movies, but in the book of Jaws 2 the shark is female and pregnant and it says she mated with a shark "equal to her in size and power" years earlier.

So... maybe she already had his puppies in the interim and one of them was the Jaws: The Revenge shark? I read The Revenge book once years ago but remember nothing apart from more people getting chomped and a better explanation of the voodoo 'curse' on the Brody family.

Jaws III is non-canon.

Bruce is male, the Jaws 2 shark was his mate, and the others were their kids?

I think so - in the books at least - they sensibly played it down for the movies though as it's a bit deranged.
