Which other Aquariums except Georgia Aquarium currently have whale sharks on display, and how many of them are in captivity now ?
 
As well as the Japanese aquaria, I think 1 Whale Shark is still kept at the Taiwan National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium.
 
Thanks.

What about chinese Aquariums ? And how large are now the four whale sharks at Georgia Aquariums, does anybody knows that ? The large female"Trixie"should be around 8 meters by now.

Thank you very much for this Information.

I'm doing a research of the history of whale sharks in Aquariums, so thanks to you, I have now the Names of the facillities with whale sharks, so I can contact them directly for more and hopefully detailed informations. I think, using informations of the Internet isn't a good Option, nobody knows whats true and whats not.

Does anybody know, if some of the new Aquariums like that one in Singapore, wants to keep whale sharks ?
