Yes they would survive.
Im not sure you still really grasp how cash hungry Seaworld are to keep the Orca program alive
Only 14 weeks ago they proposed to double the size of the tanks and asked for planning permission (great news you might think) it was suspected though that they were planning to use the increase in space to increase the number of Orcas they hold in captivity so they were granted permission to build the larger tanks on condition they didnt increase the number of Orca whales (they currently have 11) and stopped the transfer of whales to and from the park.
Seaworld stated they plan to sue the coastal commission for trying to impose those conditions.

They have 23 Orcas at present someof them are captive bred and some of them were kidnapped from the wild at a young age.
