Sharks have compensated for this problem by having a spiral valve, or a scroll valve, inside the intestine to increase the absorbent surface of the intestine. By keeping digestible material in the ileum for an extended period maximum nutrient absorption is ensured.

Answer:
A spiral valve or scroll valve is the corkscrew-shaped lower portion of the intestine of some sharks, acipenseriformes , rays, skates, bichirs, lepisosteiformes , and lungfishes. A modification of the ileum, the spiral valve is internally twisted or coiled to increase the surface area of the intestine which increases nutrient absorption.
