This is an awesome picture of a truly fascinating rarity! Do you happen to have any more? I also really would love some more info on how the animal was doing and the exhibit it’s housed in - I’ve heard about Sendai’s world record chase for blue shark captive duration, but there’s not too much info out there. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I’ve only developed this one photo so far. Sadly, the shark passed away in April on its 503rd day in captivity, which was the second-longest record. The aquarium no longer keeps blue sharks. It was housed in a cylindrical tank holding 71 tons of water.

Sorry for the late reply. The aquarium does have some intent to try keeping blue sharks again. As for publications, I haven’t seen any coming from their work.
