The aquarium is situated prominently in the Port of Nagoya, on the right in the photo above. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but M&L were nice enough to share their photos with me.Highlights included a giant sea turtle exhibit complete with a sand area for the turtles to lay their eggs, a penguin exhibit, and a two story dolphin tank with observation areas from ground level through glass or above ground looking down into the tank. The lowlight was learning that the Aquarium's Killer Wale recently died, and seeing a memorial for it, complete with its toothbrush.
It was a bit frusterating being unable to read or understand most of the display descritions. I was able to learn that sea turtle sex is determined by the temperature during hatching. A temperature >29° C produces more females while cooler temperatures <29°>
Happy Birthday Ron!
