I don't think there have evern been succesfull atemps.How about the Humboldt Squid that's also on my List then? I think that one's even relatively common in Zoos
Edit: can't find anything about them in Zoos so maybe I'm misremembering
Maybe I've confused it with another Species thenJust checked the Okinawa Aquarium's site, looks like they had a female die in 2021. Looks like it was the big almost mature female. I think they have a second female held behind the scenes, but no idea how big she is. Happened right on the heels of the Georgia Aquarium losing their two females in 2020 and 2021.Just read a Publication by the Okinawa Aquarium about captive Breeding of Whale Sharks. Seems like there weren't any successfully bred at the Time that Article was written but their male Whale Shark was already attempting to do it. Does anyone know if it worked since then in some Aquarium or Zoo to breed them? If not I might change the Whale Shark to something else on the List. Or Frontier could add them but they'll only have a small Chance to actually breed when they are fully researched
You need to scroll a bit down on the Page. It has multiple Articles
Breeding in Captivity
At the Aquarium, we don’t just keep and exhibit sea creatures - we also carry out research activities.churaumi.okinawa

At least it doesn't seem to have anything to do with bad Care or something like that. They were just unlucky with that one Individual. Maybe they'll be able to breed someday thenJust checked the Okinawa Aquarium's site, looks like they had a female die in 2021. Looks like it was the big almost mature female.

Whale sharks in the Kuroshio Sea tank
An 8-meter female whale shark exhibited in Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium’s Kuroshio Sea tank since October 23rd 2012, has bee...美ら海水族館のジンベエザメ死ぬ 国内最長飼育13年2カ月 | アーカイブ記事 | 沖縄タイムス＋プラス
沖縄美ら海水族館（沖縄県本部町）は２２日、雌のジンベエザメ１頭が１７日に死んだと発表した。体調が思わしくないため、１２日から館外の海上にある研究用のいけすに移していた。死因はあごの骨格構造の異常などにより、摂餌障害を引き起こした可能性があるという。
Unlikely, it is now illegal to catch wild whale sharks for captive display. The Okinawa sharks were taken just before the law was put into place.
But as it was mentioned they seem to have a second Female Backstage. A Shame though that it most likely won't be enough though to start a Captive Breeding Population so the ones we currently have in Zoos will probably be the last ones +maybe one or two additional Generations (if they are extremely lucky)
one Thing I wonder about: are Zoos that belong to different Organizations allowed to exchange Animals? Thought about that because japanese Zoos seem to have lots of rare Species but they aren't Members of WAZA anymore due to them for some weird Reason still supporting the Dolphin Hunt at Taiji Bay which might find a End if they would stop buying Animals from them because the Trade with Live Animals brings them the most Money. So would a japanese Aquarium for Example be allowed to exchange Animals with one in America?This is anecdotal, but 6 years ago the zoo I worked in (EAZA member), got some crocs from a japanese zoo. So it was at least possible then.
Interesting.

Possibly if JAZA complies with all requirements it shouldn't be blocked in rejoiningInteresting.
Good News. Found out, they've decided shortly after to no longer support it, so maybe JAZA is a Member of WAZA again?
Japanese aquariums agree to stop taking dolphins from Taiji hunts
The Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums (JAZA) has voted in favour of no longer using the Taiji dolphin hunts as a supply of dolphins for its marine parks. A majorty of the organization's 153 members, of which 37 hold dolphins, supported the decision. The announcement came a month after...
The only reference to one was found on zoochat in 2014 but sadly the website seems to have been removed.
A absolute Shame. Would've interested me which unique Animals they are keeping. I know that they are quite successful at keeping some Deepsea Species (saw it in a Thread on Zoochat)
See my added link on the previous message. It's lists all animals found throughout JAZA but a very complicated search function and of course you will need to translate the text through the browser. 204 pages of aquatic animals to dig through

Cool. Did you edit it in or was I just too stupid to see it?
Yeah I edited it in, I should of added another message but oh well. So I used my Google option to translate text because I can't read a word of Japanese, click the animal type and press the search button or if you know the exact animal type it in. Then on the animal press see more and there should be a list of Japanese links - these are are zoos holding the animal
A Shame that my japanese Skills are still that bad but maybe it'll still be useful
Ok, I'll take that back
