The reason no aquarium dares to feed

Aquariums cannot become white shark houses because they cannot meet their natural needs.

White sharks are difficult to adapt to life in aquariums for a variety of reasons such as diet, limited space and external environmental impacts, according to IFL Science.

A big problem is diet.White sharks are predators at the top of the food chain, often dubbed the "ocean killer". In nature, they are ready to starve until they find the prey. But in an aquarium environment, many captive white sharks often refuse to eat prepared meat.

White sharks are also one of the animals that live in the water to regularly swim forward so that water flows through their gills to get oxygen. The animal is usually 6 meters long, so the width of the aquariums in the aquarium is often not enough to meet their movement needs.

White sharks are used to swimming through long journeys. Researchers have recorded a Nicole shark that completed more than 20,000km of distance from Africa to Australia and vice versa in just 9 months.

Large space simulation in the sea, where white sharks can swim comfortably, is an impossible goal. Visitors will lose interest in watching animals from too far away.

Another theory is that the artificial environment in aquarium glass can overwhelm or disrupt sensitive receptors of white sharks. This sense allows them to detect small movements and changes in the water environment. However, in the aquarium, the shark is easy to confuse with the large amount of stimulation from the glass walls to the surrounding electrical equipment.

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan is one of the last places to try to keep white sharks last year but failed. The shark died after only three days of being put into the tank.

Earlier, dozens of other places tried to display white sharks in tanks. Marineland of the Pacific, a famous aquarium in California, USA, was the first place to keep white sharks in the mid-1950s. Sharks live less than a day. SeaWorld Park also tried several times to raise white sharks in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s but all attempts failed. Sharks die or are forced to be released naturally after only two weeks to the park.

In 2004, Monterey Bay Aquarium became the only place in the world that can breed white sharks longer than 16 days.
