I've noticed that Hangzhou Polar Ocean Park is now listed as a holder of Yangtze Finless Porpoise (N. a. asiaeorientalis) in Zootierliste, which I assume is based on this picture. There're only two places in China currently keeping N. a. asiaeorientalis in captivity: the Baiji Dolphinarium at Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Wuhan, where the first captive birth of the species was achieved in 2005; and Chimelong Ocean Park, which got two individuals from Tian-e-Zhou in 2021. Another two semi-captive populations were established in Tian-e-Zhou Oxbow Nature Reserve (Shishou, Hubei) and Xijiang Nature Reserve (Anqing, Anhui). Four animals from Tian-e-Zhou were sent to Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park in 2021, however two died in early 2023 and the two remained were sent back to Tian-e-Zhou soon after. The porpoise shown here is most likely N. a. sunameri, the same subspecies as in Toba.
