View of the arcylic glass tunnel in the shark tank at Kelly Tarlton's... The sharks are taken from the wild, keep for approximately three months then released...

is catching sharks, keeping them and releasing them a little later a common practice in aquariums?

No I don't believe so, but at 22 years old and as a - for profit - business the animals aren't the number one concern of the facility (as far as I can tell)...
