Beijing to give five more sturgeons to Hong Kong
The central government will give Hong Kong five more Chinese sturgeons to replace one that died earlier, and the new fish will go on display on the opening day of the Olympic Games, Ocean Park announced yesterday.

The donation was confirmed after the National Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Association and Ocean Park signed an agreement last Wednesday.

At the end of June, one of the five Chinese sturgeons previously given to Hong Kong by the association died after being bitten by barracudas at Ocean Park.
 

Wei Qiwei of the Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fisheries Sciences explained that they have to give Ocean Park five new sturgeons because a total of five sturgeons have to go on display at the same time to signify the five Olympic rings ahead of the Beijing Olympics. However, there is not enough time to prepare just one sturgeon, which is a freshwater fish, to join the first batch of sturgeons in salt water.

Grateful for the support and trust from the association, chairman of Ocean Park Allan Zeman said the five new fish will be displayed in an aquarium which is to be converted from the existing Shark Aquarium.
