Full Grown!?
The aquarium is designed for up to 6 full grown whale sharks.
The largest whale shark recorded is 40ft long. I am forgetting my numbers exactly (maybe Niger can help out), but the sharks in the aquarium range from about 24ft to 16ft. So they are young adults.
The fact they haven't added only more sharks since June 2007 suggests to me that they are done with only 4 sharks. All 4 sharks were collected from Taiwan's fish killing quota and saved from being killed for food. Taiwanese's quota has since been abolished.
