一头从陷入困境的加拿大海洋乐园（Marineland Canada）救出的海豚在被送往西班牙一家水族馆数周后死亡。近期另有数头来自海洋乐园的动物在新居所死亡，其中包括3头白鲸。
欧洲最大水族馆瓦伦西亚海洋馆（Oceanogràfic València）周四表示，这头名为埃科（Echo）的海豚从海洋乐园被送来时就存在“严重的视力问题”及其他健康问题，包括失明，“需要专人照料”。
该水族馆称，埃科开始出现呼吸系统问题和吞咽困难后，被转移至该馆的医疗水池，由兽医团队照料。馆方表示，埃科的健康状况在整个周三期间“迅速恶化”，并于当晚死亡。
水族馆表示，其工作人员和附近一所大学的病理学家将进行尸检，以确定死亡原因。
埃科是从加拿大海洋乐园救出的4头海豚之一。该馆称，其余3头海豚在瓦伦西亚海洋馆工作人员的照料下“目前情况仍在稳步好转”。
另一头从海洋乐园救出的白鲸“果冻豆”（Jelly Bean）于7月在瓦伦西亚海洋馆死亡。馆方表示目前仍在调查该白鲸的死因。
加拿大海洋乐园因所有者去世于2024年停业，但仍拥有包括海豚和30头白鲸在内的园内动物。2025年10月，该主题公园警告称，如果无法为这些动物找到新的安置地点，将不得不对其实施安乐死。
2026年7月，美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）宣布了一项国际转运计划，将28头白鲸送往美国经过认证的水族馆。其余2头白鲸则被送往瓦伦西亚海洋馆。
近期另有数头从加拿大海洋乐园救出的动物在新居所死亡。3头被从海洋乐园送往芝加哥谢德水族馆（Shedd Aquarium）的白鲸在不到一个月的时间内相继死亡，这引发了人们对这些动物在被救出时健康状况有多脆弱的质疑。谢德水族馆的另一头白鲸——该馆白鲸群的长期成员——近期也在馆内死亡。
甚至在加拿大海洋乐园停业之前，其动物饲养方式就已受到审查。自2019年以来，已有20头鲸类动物（其中包括19头白鲸）在该园死亡。此前检查员曾判定，由于水质恶劣，园内所有动物都处于痛苦状态。在写给美国水族馆的一封信中，美国国家海洋和大气管理局指出，来自海洋乐园的鲸类“健康状况已受损”。
谢德水族馆的工作人员也正在开展调查和医学检查，以确定这些白鲸的死因。
Marineland dolphin dies at aquarium in Spain in latest death after rescue

A dolphin rescued from the troubled theme park Marineland Canada has died weeks after it was taken to an aquarium in Spain. Several other animals from Marineland, including three beluga whales, have died at their new homes in recent weeks.
Oceanogràfic València, Europe’s largest aquarium, said Thursday that the dolphin, known as Echo, arrived from Marineland with “serious vision problems” and other health issues, including blindness, that “required individualized attention.”
Echo was taken to the facility’s medical pool and cared for by veterinarians after beginning to exhibit respiratory problems and difficulty swallowing, the aquarium said. Her health “deteriorated rapidly” throughout Wednesday before she died that night, the aquarium said.
The aquarium said its staff and pathologists from a nearby university will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Echo is one of four dolphins rescued from Marineland Canada. The facility said the other animals are “still progressing favorably” under the care of Oceanogràfic València staff.
Another beluga whale rescued from Marineland, known as Jelly Bean, died at Oceanogràfic València in July. The facility said it is still investigating what caused the whale’s death.
Marineland Canada shut down in 2024 after its owners died, but remained in possession of its animals, including dolphins and 30 beluga whales. In October 2025, the theme park warned it would have to euthanize the animals if they couldn’t be relocated.
In July 2026, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced an international relocation plan that would send 28 beluga whales to accredited aquariums in the United States. The other two beluga whales were sent to Oceanogràfic València.

Several other animals rescued from Marineland Canada have died in recent weeks. Three beluga whales taken from Marineland to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago died within a month of each other, raising questions about how medically fragile the animals were when they were rescued. A fourth beluga whale, a longtime member of the Shedd’s beluga pod, also recently died at the aquarium.
Even before Marineland Canada closed, it was under scrutiny for its treatment of animals. Twenty whales, including 19 belugas, have died there since 2019. Inspectors previously declared that all animals in the theme park were in distress due to poor water quality. In a letter to American aquariums, NOAA noted that the whales from Marineland “are health-compromised.”
Staff at the Shedd Aquarium are also conducting investigations and medical exams to determine the whales’ cause of death.
