Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium (Japanese: 名古屋港水族館 Hepburn: nagoyakō suizokukan?) is a public aquarium in Minato-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
Since 2003, the aquarium kept a killer whale named Kū (クー?) on loan from another aquarium, who lived at the aquarium until her death on September 19, 2008.
In 2010, the aquarium acquired a killer whale named Nami (ナミちゃん nami-chan?), who was to live at the aquarium permanently and feature in its Orca Show. Unfortunately, Nami died shortly after her arrival and public debut at this aquarium, dying on January 14, 2011.
Plans made for January/February 2011 for the aquarium to receive two killer whales, a male and a female, Bingo and Stella, on five-year loan from Kamogawa Seaworld in Chiba Prefecture. The two adult killer whales arrived on December 16, 2011 by ship from Kamogawa Sea World. Their daughter, Ran 2, arrived by truck the day before, on December 15, 2011. On November 13, 2012, Stella gave birth to a female calf, Lynn.
