In Atlanta
Unclear
Why Whale
Shark Died.
A necropsy
of one of
the Georgia
Aquarium's
prized whale
sharks did
not reveal
any obvious
causes of
death, but
the investigation
is continuing
and could
take months,
aquarium
officials
said.
Ralph,
one of four
whale sharks
at the 1-year-old
aquarium,
died Thursday
night. It
was the
second death
of a popular
exhibit
at the aquarium
in 10 days.
Officials
said the
whale shark
stopped
swimming
Thursday
afternoon
and died
later that
night.

In Hong
Kong
Underwater
Camera
Monitors
Corals.
... an
underwater
camera
and
instrumentation
system
for
monitoring
fish
species
activity
on an
inshore
coral
reef in
the Hoi
Ha Wan
Marine
Park.
The
system
consists
of a
high-
resolution
pan,
tilt and
zoom
camera
with
associated
lighting,
and an
instrumentation
package
for
measuring
the
local
environment,
including
dissolved
oxygen,
temperature,
pressure,
salinity
and
ambient
light
conditions.
It is
connected
to the
shore
base
station
via a
fibre
optic
cable
with
power
conductors.
The
system
is
designed
to be
continuously
used for
long
periods
of time.
The
first
period
chosen
was for
100 days
during
the
coral
spawning
season
from
June to
August
2004.
The
system
has also
been
used
regularly
for two
to three
weeks at
a time
to
monitor
changes
in fish
behavior
in
different
climactic
conditions
over the
past two
years.

In Denver
the Downtown
Aquarium
Leaks for
Nine Months.
Someone leaked the news that the Downtown Aquarium is leaking 3,000 gallons of saltwater a day - a little more than two gallons a minute - enough to get the attention of state health regulators Tuesday. It appears that the aquarium at 700 Water Street sprung a leak about nine months ago, but only now have aquarium officials lined up a repair crew slated to start work on the problem this weekend.

In Toronto
Breeding
Killifish
in a Puddle
on the Floor.
Mike from
Missouri
sends a
link to
a story
... in Jim's
basement
fishroom
I kept looking
at this
rack of
tanks ...
when something
caught my
eye - movement
from down
below. Now,
Jim uses
a continuous
flow recirculation
system and
um, well,
err, it
leaks a
bit. There
was a puddle
of water
pooled up
in that
particular
corner of
his basement,
a triangle
of water
about a
foot and
a half square
and roughly
a qurter
inch or
5mm deep
... I found
two fish.
"Uh, Jim,
there's
fish on
your floor".
"Oh, what
do they
look like".
"Rivulus".
"Figgers.
Ok, just
leave them
there".
Ooooook,
they're
your fish.
Six months
later I'm
back looking
around again.
Just for
a joke I
go look
at the puddle.
I do not
see the
two small
fish. No,
I see two
almost three
inch long
fish and
maybe 40
fry. The
water barely
covered
half the
height of
the adults
body. "Uh,
Jim there's
a bunch
of fish
down here".
"Yeah I
know. They
do better
there than
in my tanks".
