The 4-foot, 55.5-pound young female shark was brought to the aquarium Wednesday after being trapped Aug. 16 in a net off Malibu, aquarium spokesman Ken Peterson said in a news release. The shark will likely remain on exhibit for several months.
Renovations scheduled for late 2009 to the aquarium's Outer Bay Exhibit, where the sharks are displayed, could make this white shark the last to be on exhibit until 2011, Peterson said.
Since 2004, three white sharks have been displayed at the aquarium, with more than 2 million visitors seeing them before they were released into the ocean. ..[The Herald]
