That follows U.S. approval of the move last September.</p><p>Experts from both facilities were in Niagara Falls Wednesday examining the four female and one male belugas and preparing to fly them out as early as this weekend, according to Stephen Coan, the Connecticut aquarium's president and chief executive.</p><p>The whales are expected to spend a few weeks acclimating to their new environment in tanks separated by a gate from Mystic's three current resident belugas — Kela, Juno and Natasha — before being fully integrated into the 2,839,058-litre habitat.</p><div><ul class="similarLinks"><li class="similarListItem"><a class="similarLink" href="/news/canada/hamilton/marineland-belugas-1.5860412" text="Lawsuit prompts U.S. aquarium to delay import of Marineland beluga whales" flag="" data-contentid=""><span class="similarLinkText">Lawsuit prompts U.S. aquarium to delay import of Marineland beluga whales</span></a></li></ul><ul class="similarLinks"><li class="similarListItem"><a class="similarLink" href="/news/canada/hamilton/mystic-aquarium-marineland-whales-1.5371220" text="Proposal to import whales from Marineland to U.S. sparks standoff between animal defenders, aquarium" flag="" data-contentid=""><span class="similarLinkText">Proposal to import whales from Marineland to U.S. sparks standoff between animal defenders, aquarium</span></a></li></ul></div><p>Coan said the whales, which range in age from seven to 12, were born in captivity and cannot be released into the ocean. He said they will be leaving an overcrowded habitat with about 50 other whales and will be at the centre of important research designed to benefit belugas in the wild.</p><p>"We have state of the art veterinary care and state of the art facilities," he said. "This is the largest beluga habitat in North America. They will be much better off here."</p><p>Connecticut-based Friends of Animals and other activists sought to block the transport in a lawsuit last fall against the U.S. Commerce secretary and National Marine Fisheries Service, which had approved the research permit. A federal judge in March declined to issue an injunction.</p><h2>Activists fought against move</h2><p>Stephen Hernick, the senior attorney for the Friends of Animals Wildlife Law Program, called it a heartbreaking day for the whales.</p><p>The group claims the U.S. permit violates the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the National Environmental Policy Act because government officials did not adequately address the potential harm to the belugas of being moved to Mystic.</p><p>"There are other belugas already in the United States that they can study," he said. "They can study these belugas in Canada and it's unnecessary to do this transport and harm these belugas in the process in order to do research."</p><p>Dr. Allison Tuttle, who heads the zoological operations at Mystic, said the animals will be comfortable and meticulously cared for during the transport and once they arrive.</p><h2>Belugas won't perform for the public</h2><p>She said they will be trained through positive reinforcement — a fish, a tongue rub or a fun toy to play with — to voluntarily assist in research being done by the world's top experts in the field. That research will be used as a baseline to compare against wild belugas in studying things like their health and immune systems.</p><p>"These animals are really big and you can't make a beluga do anything," she said. "They are in the water and if they want to open their mouths and let you take a look, they will. If they don't, they will swim away. They get fed and get their enrichment items, regardless."</p><p>The research permit does not allow for the animals to be trained to perform for the public or to be bred. Coan said they never actively breed animals and the female belugas will be kept away from the males when ovulating.</p><p>He said he expects top researchers from around the world will visit Mystic to work with the belugas, which are known for their white color, bulbous forehead and vocal sounds.</p><p>"We're the only institution really focused on beluga whale research," he said. "And the animals here are really used to non-invasive research techniques. We have a very unique situation here and none of our research is invasive or harms the whales in any way."</p></div></div><div class="contentFeedback-RoTQP"><div class="bottomSeparator-FdM_L"><a
