Abstract

Reef HQ Aquarium (Townsville, Australia) has successfully hosted two scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) in captivity in its 2.5 ML Coral Reef Exhibit since late 2011. Here we document this experience after 2.5 years including collection and period of acclimation to captivity, transport, introduction into display, husbandry issues encountered, behavioural observations, health and growth observations, and management considerations.
