The South African Association for Marine Biological Research, incorporating Sea World, Oceanographic Research Institute and the Dolphinarium relocated from their old premises of 46 years on Durban’s beach front in March and April 2004 to the new Point Development’s marine theme park, uShaka Marine World in Durban, South Africa. Netting of fishes from the large exhibits could cause physical damage to struggling fishes, increasing the risk of opportunistic secondary bacterial infections (Inoue, dos Santos Neto & Morales 2004) which could not be treated in time for the opening of uShaka Marine World on 30 April 2004.
