The world's first bionic whale shark recently made its debut at the Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park.
Developed by No 111 Factory of the Third Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Limited (CASIC), the bionic whale shark can interact with performers and it is expected to be installed with different sensors to take on missions such as water quality monitoring and photography and filming in the fish tank.
The debut performance of the bionic whale shark increased enjoyment at the park and at the same time called on the public to be more concerned about marine ecology.

Up to now, the company has developed various models of bionic products such as bionic goldfish, bionic killer whales and a bionic porpoises and will continue to promote integration of marine bionic technology and intelligent systems.
It is also emerging as a China-leading base that integrates research and development, manufacturing, assembly, testing, sales and service of underwater robots to accelerate marketization and industrialization of underwater products and present more marine creatures to the public.
