Whale sharks at Kaiyukan Aquarium?

I plan to visit Osaka's Kaiyukan Aquarium in early october. On their website I noticed that the whale sharks are currently not on display. Does anyone know if I will be able to see them in october?
Thanks!

The whale shark seems to have health issues, so has been transferred to a research center to be monitored (since May 20), but then unfortunately she died in mid-July...

The aquarium's notice (in Japanese):

RIP

I was at this place in May and it seemed to me that the whale shark wasn't in a good physical condition (open wounds / abrasions on his fins) and the fish tank was too small for his size, at leat it's my personal view.

They just got a new one at Kaiyukan (according to the news).

Thanks for your replies. It's sad to hear that the shark died.

A new female whale shark has been around Kaiyukan since the 25th of August,2014

Oh no!! I still have pictures of her on my phone from my trip in May. That poor girl. RIP Whale Shark. :(

If you are keen on aquariums, you should go to Toba. It's much bigger than Osaka and, in my opinion, much better. The Kintetsu has a rail pass for tourists that saves a lot of money.
Here's my Toba gallery.
