Nickname for Ringed seal born on April 1st has been decided

The nickname for the Ringed seal has been decided! As a result of the nickname vote for the Ringed seal born on April 1st, the nickname has been decided as "Mizore"! (Photo taken on April 5th, 2021) (Photo taken on July 27th, 2021) From July 12th to July 26th, votes were collected for five nickname proposals that the aquarium keeper had devised with various thoughts. A total of 26,432 votes were cast, and "Mizore" received 11,365 votes, accounting for about 43% of the total. (Other nickname proposals: Hare [7,030 votes], Harusame [5,550 votes], etc.) The nickname "Mizore" comes from the nicknames of the Ringed seal at Kaiyukan that are derived from weather, and because Mizore's face at birth resembled that of his mother, Arale, the weather that resembles hail (mizore) is called hail. In addition, a panel exhibition "Growth Record of Ringed seal for 100 Days from Birth" will be Aquarium near the "Arctic Region" tank from August 1st, introducing the growth process of "Mizore" and the unprecedented artificial rearing effort that was undertaken through trial and Kaiyukan . In addition to introducing the growth process, the panel will introduce the behind-the-scenes story of artificial rearing and the thoughts of the aquarium keeper , and will also display the actual white fur that "Mizore" lost during the growth process.

[Comment from the aquarium keeper] Thank you for all your votes. We are very happy to have been able to decide on the nickname together with everyone. Currently, "Mizore" is growing well, and we are working on efforts to bring out the diversity of his behavior and training him to come ashore from the pool in preparation for his debut in the "Arctic Region" tank.

The first "root-stoma jellyfish" to be exhibited in Japan

From Thursday, July 29, 2021, a type of root-stem jellyfish bred at Kaiyukan will be exhibited for the first time in Japan in the Kaiyukan exhibition area "Jellyfish" . Kaiyukan will continue to breed and exhibit this species, working to understand its biology and also considering proposing a Japanese name. A type of root-stem jellyfish to be exhibited This species was acquired from the Berlin Aquarium in 2008 in the form of a "polyp" (a form of jellyfish growth stage), and although "ephyra", which are jellyfish larvae, occasionally occurred, they had not been grown to a size suitable for exhibition. In April 2021, the breeding environment for the ephyra was reviewed and an tank suitable for the size was hand-made. After trial and error in maintaining the water quality, the strength of the water flow, and the frequency of feeding, the umbrella diameter has grown to 5 cm, which is suitable for exhibition. We will continue to conduct various research activities related to species preservation and environmental conservation so that we can deliver the sea and earth, where diverse organisms live, to the future. *Exhibition may end without notice depending on the condition of the organisms. [About the "root mouth jellyfish"] Scientific name: Rhizostoma octopus. It lives in the coastal waters of the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and is known to grow to about 90 cm. "Root mouth jellyfish" is one of the names for a group of jellyfish, including the "Bizen jellyfish" and "Octopus jellyfish," which have also been exhibited at Kaiyukan . From Thursday, July 29, 2021, a "root mouth jellyfish" bred at Kaiyukan will be exhibited for the first time in Japan in the Kaiyukan exhibition area "Jellyfish ." Kaiyukan will continue to breed and exhibit this species and strive to elucidate its biology, and is also considering proposing a Japanese name. A type of root mouth jellyfish to be exhibited this time In 2008, this species was transferred from the Berlin Aquarium in the state of "polyp" (a form of jellyfish growth stage), and although "ephyra," which is a jellyfish juvenile, was occasionally generated, it was not able to grow to a size that can be exhibited. From April 2021, the breeding environment of the ephyra was reviewed and an tank suitable for the size was handmade. After much trial and error in maintaining water quality, water current strength, and feeding frequency, the diameter of the umbrella has grown to 5cm, making it suitable for display. We will continue to conduct various research activities related to species preservation and environmental conservation so that we can pass on the ocean and earth, where diverse organisms live, to future generations. *Exhibition may end without notice depending on the condition of the organism.

We will exhibit a baby "Porcupinefish"

We are exhibiting the first baby " Porcupinefish, " a member of the Long-spine porcupine fish family, at Kaiyukan . Five " Porcupinefish " fry will be on display at the "Special Exhibition "Gyugyu-tto Cute" special exhibition on the 5th floor of the Aquarium , which began on Thursday, April 29, 2021 (national holiday). This marks only the second successful breeding of this species in the world (according to Kaiyukan research) and the first at Kaiyukan . As a result, breeding techniques for captive breeding have not yet been established, and the detailed developmental process is unknown. The fry on display were discovered among the eggs of this species hidden in the sand by a aquarium keeper tank and cleaning the " Cook Strait" tank. To prevent predation by other species housed in the tank, they were retrieved. After trial and error, including temperature control and seawater concentration adjustment based on examples of breeding with other species, the eggs hatched on January 15, 2021. The hatched fry, which were approximately 3mm long immediately after hatching, have now grown to approximately 20mm, and their characteristic spines are now visible. Kaiyukan will continue to elucidate the ecology and appeal of this species through its exhibits and breeding, while also contributing to various research activities related to species preservation and environmental conservation. Exhibition Overview: Location: Kaiyukan 5th Floor Special Exhibition "Special Exhibition "Gyugyu-tto Cute" Period: Thursday, April 29, 2021 (National Holiday) - July 2021 (Scheduled) *Subject to change or cancellation without notice depending on the condition of the animals.

After that, spines gradually appeared. Now, about three months after hatching, the young have many spines like adult fish, but their body color is generally black. We will continue to conduct research on this species, aiming to clarify its developmental process and establish breeding techniques in captivity. About the Porcupinefish: English name: Porcupine fish, Scientific name: Allomycterus pilatus. This species is a member of the Long-spine porcupine fish family that inhabits the waters around New Zealand. The "porcupine" part of its English name means porcupine, and as its name suggests, it has many spines on its body surface that are formed by deformed scales. At Kaiyukan, adult Porcupinefish are displayed in the "Cook Strait" tank, which recreates the waters of New Zealand. Growth Process of Juveniles: At hatching (1/15): Approximately 3mm. Characteristic translucent body. No distinguishing features are yet apparent. 16th day (1/31): Approximately 5mm. Greenish, rounded, translucent body. The characteristic spines of this species are absent. Day 26 (February 10th) Approximately 7mm The body surface turns black and the areas where the spines will grow appear to have a spotted pattern.

After the birth, the baby was examined in the back yard and symptoms such as hypothermia and hypoglycemia were found, so the veterinarians and the aquarium keeper worked together to care for it.
