Only just seen your SVG (had to re-do answer 
)
An SVG can be opened at any size without loss of quality. That one will have to be large-ish for the shark to fit
1. File -> Open and set the width to 5000 pix

2. File -> Open as Layers the shark. Move
this to the magnifying glass. The 'yellow' dots are the layer boundary.

3. Move the shark layer under the magnifying glass. (drag it down in the layers dialogue or use the arrows) Make the shark layer the size of the image Layer -> Layer to Image size
4. Add a new layer Layer -> New Layer and move under the shark layer.
5. Make a circular selection and fill that selection with color to match shark background (black in this case). Kill the selection Select -> None

Save your work as Gimp .xcf format which keeps layers, masks, paths etc
Export as a .png which reduces to a single layer and keeps the transparency.
