Zoo's sharks dying
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Sharks keep dying at the Pittsburgh Zoo & amp; PPG Aquarium, including eight since September. Five remain alive at the zoo's $16.8 million aquarium. Eight died between Sept. 30 and Oct. 31 while in a quarantine tank. Two others were killed by another shark and two more died of bacterial infections. Zoo officials believe four may have died from de-worming medication. In April 2000, two months before the new aquarium opened with its state-of-the-art 100,000-gallon saltwater ocean shark tank, two died when cyanide-contaminated chemicals were added to their tank. Then, in the first two months after the expanded aquarium opened, 16 fish died. Zoo officials say they've dismantled the quarantine tank looking for problems and hope to learn more from tests on the dead animals.
