Abstract:

The number and diversity of aquarium display facilities has grown considerably in the past few years. This is, in part, because the aquarium operating model has allowed a certain economic independence. This article examines the enhanced revenue earning potential of aquariums. It compares aquarium financial factors with zoos and other cultural organizations, which normally require an annual government contribution for operations. As an industry, aquariums have considerable drawing power, are smaller in size when compared to zoos and are efficient to operate. These factors contribute to financial viability—an important element in sustaining modern aquarium's work in public education, research and conservation. As the number and diversity of Aquariums grows, more people are exposed to the underwater world and its many conservation issues. Aquariums do not limit their audience to the experts, they allow anyone to experience and learn about the oceans, rivers and streams of the world. To meet future demands, the financial sustainability of aquariums must be continually strengthened to ensure continued future public awareness.

Abstract:

Community-based capture–hold–release (CHR) aquariums were developed to (i) increase community connection to local marine environments by displaying local animals, (ii) avoid negative perceptions about holding animals by minimizing the time any individual is held captive, and (iii) operate with a low ecological footprint. CHR aquariums in British Columbia, Canada, require government-issued licences and permits to capture, hold, and release animals, a condition of which is that neither capture nor release can result in negative ecological, genetic, or disease impacts on wild populations in the collecting or receiving waters. Growth in the popularity of CHR aquariums is placing them under greater scrutiny from permitting agencies. Because of variability between facilities and a lack of performance standards, CHR aquariums cannot be assured of a consistent assessment. This paper proposes a CHR Aquarium Health Program that transparently and consistently provides assurances that they are socially and ecologically safe and recognizes the unique challenges of small-scaled, often rural aquariums. The value of this approach is discussed with respect to 10 years of implementation at the Ucluelet Aquarium.

Abstract:

In the modern world, a monitoring system for an automated aquarium is not a novel concept. The device enables automatic pH, temperature, and turbidity level, water level, andfish nutrition management for the user. Manually examining an aquarium's conditions, however, would be inconvenient. It takestime, and dedication is needed. Here, a system connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is presented to monitor and control the entire aquarium up keep utilizing electronics and sensors that continuously communicate and report real-time status to usersmartphones. The created system will keep track of any physical alterations to the water and maintain it at its perfect state, deciding on any necessary adjustments automatically. The aquarium will carry out all tasks automatically, including controlling the water level, feeding, pH, turbidity, and temperature. It will lessen the amount of manual work needed to manage aquariums.

Abstract:

The aim of the current study was to assess the impacts of tank color on the growth, stress, biochemical, hematological, and immunological responses, and expression of growth-related genes in juvenile Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus). Therefore, a total of 120 fish (9.14 ± 0.34 g) were distributed into 12 aquariums (60 × 50 × 35 cm) and divided into four treatments (aquariums with blue, white, yellow, and red colors) in three replicates (10 fish per aquarium). The fish were daily hand-fed ad libitum in three meals at 7:00, 12:00, and 17:00 hr for 56 days. Results showed that Oscar fish cultured in the red aquariums had higher final weight and weight gain and lower feed conversion ratio. Plasma cortisol, glucose, and lactate values of fish were significantly higher, and the amount of white blood cells was lower in the blue aquariums compared to other tank colors. Plasma triglyceride values were significantly higher in the white and yellow groups than the blue aquariums. Moreover, fish cultured in yellow and red aquariums had significantly higher melatonin levels than the blue aquariums. Plasma cholesterol, total protein, albumin, complement 3, and total immunoglobulin values were highest in Oscar fish cultured in the red aquariums. Also, lysozyme and alternative complement (ACH50) activities and complement 4 values of fish cultured in yellow and red aquariums were meaningfully higher compared to blue and white groups. Growth hormone relative gene expression levels were meaningfully higher in Oscar fish cultured in white, yellow, and red aquariums than the blue aquariums. Furthermore, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) relative gene expression levels were significantly higher in fish cultured in yellow and red aquariums compared to those cultured in blue and white tank colors. Thus, the most suitable tank color for rearing juvenile A. ocellatus is red, while blue tank color is unsuitable.

Abstract:

Aquatic ecosystems are currently facing a multitude of stressors from anthropogenic impacts, including climate change, pollution, and overfishing. Public aquariums positively contribute to ecosystems through conservation, education, and scientific advancement; but may also negatively detract from these systems through collection of animals from the wild and sourcing from commercial suppliers. Changes within the industry have occurred, although evidence-based assessments of 1) how aquariums collect and maintain their populations to determine sustainability of the environment they have harvested; and 2) the welfare of these harvested animals once within the aquariums are still needed. The objectives of this study were to assess the ecosystem health of locations aquariums frequently visit to collect fish from the wild, and then evaluate the wellbeing of fishes at aquariums after extended periods in captivity. Assessments included use of chemical, physical, and biological indicators at field sites, and use of a quantitative welfare assessment at aquariums for comparison to species reared through aquaculture. Anthropogenic pressures at field sites were observed, but no evidence of high degradation or compromised health of animals were found. Welfare assessments of aquarium exhibit tanks produced high-positive scores overall (> 70/84), demonstrating that both wild collected (avg. score 78.8) and aquaculture fishes (avg. score 74.5) were coping appropriately within their environments. Although findings indicated that fish can be taken from the wild at low-moderate rates without any deleterious impact on the environment and cope equally well in aquarium settings, alternatives such as aquaculture should be considered as a strategy to reduce pressure on known stressed aquatic environments or where significant numbers of fishes are being taken.

Abstract:

AbstractModern-day zoos and aquariums market themselves as places of education and conservation. A recent study conducted by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) (Falk et al., 2007) is being widely heralded as the first direct evidence that visits to zoos and aquariums produce long-term positive effects on people’s attitudes toward other animals. In this paper, we address whether this conclusion is warranted by analyzing the study’s methodological soundness. We conclude that Falk et al. (2007) contains at least six major threats to methodological validity that undermine the authors’ conclusions. There remains no compelling evidence for the claim that zoos and aquariums promote attitude change, education, or interest in conservation in visitors, although further investigation of this possibility using methodologically sophisticated designs is warranted.

Abstract:

The extensive body of social science and humanities scholarship on zoos rarely discusses aquariums. Despite their independent historical trajectory and unique characteristics and challenges, aquariums are typically considered the younger sister to the more established terrestrial zoo institutions. This article is an initial exploration of modern public aquariums through the eyes of these institutions’ veterinarians, a small but rapidly growing, and quite influential, professional cohort. Drawing on in-depth interviews with a handful of aquarium veterinarians in various sites — including the United States, Canada, Israel, Portugal, Denmark, and Germany — the article documents some of the everyday challenges that these medical practitioners face when attempting to manage the health and wellbeing of captive marine animals. Their feet in several worlds, aquarium veterinarians must balance their medical training and animal welfare sensibilities with the specific nature of the aquatic animals under their care, and also with the understanding of their evolving responsibilities toward ocean conservation. For these professionals, the rights-welfare-conservation approaches to animal care are not abstract ideas but rather real-life situations that dictate their actual modes of practice in caring for marine animals. This can only be an initial study and thus highlights the need for additional scholarly work in the social sciences and humanities on aquariums, their wet forms of life, and the challenges— as well as the opportunities — that their management poses to the human caretakers of this space. This scholarly need is especially acute in light of the declining state of extant species and ecosystems in the world’s seas. Public aquariums and their veterinarians will arguably perform increasingly important roles in the conservation of our blue planet.

Abstract:

Aquarium care is a kind of a hobby. Aquariums are filled in with various fish species, invertebrates, plants, so aquarium water contains a huge amount of impurities, bacteria and microorganisms formed during the life of aquarium inhabitants. Currently, there appear the new aquarium filters for water purification with new consumer properties. There are considered the ways of treating water in aquariums by using different types of filters in order to study their functional qualities. Six internal filters of different brands and 1 external one were taken as the objects of study, their technical characteristics being presented. The time parameters of mechanical purification of aquarium water from the bacterial film by different filters were determined, the time limits of which correspond to 2-15 and 168 min. The operating time of the filters was calculated up to the point of deteriorating the quality of water filtration, which ranged within 5-12 min for all samples; one filter coped with the task of water purification in 60 minutes. The period of filter operation until the replacement or cleaning of filter materials has been stated. The minimal result is 168 hours, the maximal - 504 hours.

Abstract:

Marine life in aquarium are continuously producing harmful impurities and proteins which should be continuously removed is considered as a big problem in today’s aquariums. The water is equally important for living lives. The marine life requires equal attention for clean environment. The impurities in existing aquarium creates threat for the life of marine in result, fishes could not survive and could die as well, also for existing aquariums the removing impurities from water in the aquarium is a crucial issue. Frequent testing of water quality parameter such as Turbidity sensor to detect the suspended particles level in the water. This system will help the aquators to avoid the manual work and generate a balanced system where fishes can be survivable. This system is based on low cost electronic sensor level detection, an automated concentration measurement system is introduced to monitor the bad water quality that affect the health of fishes we propose an IOT based solution. This whole system is automated and give wireless control with the help of WIFI. The results are shown via webpage.

Abstract:

Abstract As ocean’s apex predators, elasmobranchs are a very popular group in zoos and public aquariums. Since 30% of these species are threatened, there is a need within the zoo and public aquarium community to create a Regional Collection Plan (RCP) to coordinate the elasmobranch populations under human care. In 2011, Royal Burgers’ Zoo decided to change the Institutional Collection Plan (ICP) and stopped getting any sharks or rays directly from the wild. This study presents the potential and challenges of this approach. Although this study shows it to be a feasible approach for one public aquarium, implementing this ICP criterion in multiple public aquariums will require an increase in breeding efforts. There may also remain a need to collect animals from the wild as part of a conservation programme on threatened species or to increase the number of founders in a breeding programme.

Abstract:

Zoos and aquariums are some of the most-visited institutions, with around 700 million visits made to them globally each year. They are, in a basic sense, simply repositories of living biodiversity. However, the justifications for the continued existence of zoos have evolved since their inception in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and nearly all now position themselves as organisations focussed on the conservation of the world's remaining biodiversity. Public education of visitors is seen as, and is claimed to be, a central role in achieving this mission. Until relatively recently, very little was known about the impacts of zoo-based education. In this thesis, I will argue that good, progressive zoos and aquariums can and do achieve positive educational impacts on the people that visit them. Using a combination of structured observational methods and traditional social survey designs, I have explored the relative popularity of zoo animals, assessed the tolerance of zoo visitors to different environmental education themes, and have conducted the first fully global evaluation of zoo education impacts. In brief, I found that taxonomic group (mammals), increasing body size and activity levels were significant predictors of visitor interest in zoo animals, giving zoo professionals an evidence base to make decisions regarding education programming and exhibit design. Zoo visitors were also found to be, in the main, accepting to education content that reached beyond animal-based themes. This gives zoo educators the evidence to support their efforts to design and deliver more diverse programmes that cover wider environmental education themes. Finally, from a global survey of more than 5,000 visitors to 26 zoos and aquariums, I concluded that people tend to end their visit with a significantly greater understanding of what biodiversity is, as well as the ways that they personally can help protect it. The links between these two knowledge strands were, however, found to be less strong than predicted, leading to a discussion around the significance of the role of knowledge in catalysing human behaviour change. Aside from demonstrating their own positive educational impact, the wider implication of this research is that zoos and aquariums can also show that they are helping to achieve global biodiversity targets; namely, UN Aichi Biodiversity Target 1. From this, I will argue that the educational role of zoos should be considered as a more influential contributor to biodiversity conservation, and society more generally, than has previously been accepted.

Abstract:

Design and evaluation of real-time descriptive mediation (RTDM) for live aquarium exhibits was proposed to support the participation of visitors with and without vision loss. RTDM was developed to address learning, entertainment, restorative, and social motivations. Data was collected during a lab study with adults to get feedback about the RTDM and compare it to traditional docent presentations and audio tours. Findings show that the RTDM made it possible for participants to address their exhibit motivations and led to specific personal and social aspects of participation. A majority of participants with and without vision loss reported that the RTDM was supportive of their motivations and perceived it to be more effective at supporting learning, social, and restoration motivations compared to audio tour and docent mediation. The main contributions of this work are in: 1) developing evidence-based information design criteria for mediation at live animal exhibits; 2) demonstrating that mediation designed to support exhibit motivations can facilitate participation in adults with and without vision loss; and 3) validating participation as a design goal.

This study aimed to evaluate the aquarium practice of contributions to the occurrence of meaningful learning in school. Also seeks to assess initial knowledge and end the teachers and students about aquatic ecosystems, training teachers of basic education network for the development of an interdisciplinary approach through the use of an aquarium as a teaching strategy, check the capability of aquarium, as a teaching model for understanding the operation of a natural aquatic ecosystem and the organization of a pedagogical support guide for the study of an artificial aquatic ecosystem to contribute to the occurrence of meaningful learning in school. The research developed in this work is of applied nature; Qualitative on the approach; descriptive of the aims, and participating on the procedures. The analysis and data collection have been through initial diagnostic evaluations and final applied to teachers and students of the 9th year of the partner school, in 2014, through the actions in school to maintain the aquarium and the exhibition of works submitted for the community where the knowledge built were shared. The main results of this work indicated that the aquarium activity can be considered as an educational strategy for the occurrence of meaningful learning in school, because from the previous knowledge of students, new information were added to the cognitive structure of the same and thus new ideas and knowledge are built. It was found through diagnostic assessments that there was a better understanding of the importance of caring for aquatic ecosystems and the environment, fostering reflection on the responsibility of each front natural resources, preserving them for future generations. As the final product of this research was organized a “Guide to Educational Support for the Study of Aquatic Ecosystem Artificial", which will serve as subsidy for basic education teachers, guiding for the assembly and maintenance of an aquarium at school as well as for use this as a strategy for the occurrence of significant learning on the theme water.

Abstract:

The role of natural environments, especially ‘green space’, in promoting human health and well-being is well-researched. However, less is known about the benefits of ‘blue space’ (e.g. the coast) or ‘managed’ nature (e.g. zoos). In this thesis, six studies investigated the restorative potential of sub-aquatic settings, specifically public aquariums and the biological diversity within them. Studies 1 and 2 investigated preferences for, affective responses to, and the restorative potential of, five built and natural settings (i.e. built, green space, blue space, natural underwater and public aquariums). Using the same measures, Study 3 focused solely on people’s responses to aquarium exhibits, sub-categorised by geographic region, level of species richness and abundance, and taxonomic group. Study 4 examined behavioural, physiological and psychological responses to one aquarium exhibit during three stages of restocking. Finally, to establish how perceptions of species richness and abundance influenced well-being outcomes, people viewed and evaluated either one (Study 5) or two (Study 6) large aquarium exhibits. These studies found that natural sub-aquatic and aquarium settings were as preferred, and perceived as potentially restorative, as green space environments, and different exhibits elicited different responses: ratings were higher for tropical exhibits (vs. temperate), high abundance (vs. low) and vertebrates (vs. invertebrates), although findings for species richness were mixed. Within one exhibit, higher stocking levels resulted in increased attention and interest, greater improvements in mood, and some physiological evidence of relaxation (e.g. decreased heart rate). Broad levels of marine life could be distinguished but estimates of actual numbers were poor. Viewing one or two exhibits tended to improve mood, decrease arousal and be perceived as restorative; any differences between the two exhibits were more evident when both had been viewed. Overall, findings suggest that engaging with different types of managed nature may provide valuable perceived human health and well-being benefits.

Abstract:

The clown loach Chromobotia macracanthus, is a well known species in ornamental fish circuits although the knowledge about it in its wild environment today is limited. The outtake of 50 million juveniles every year may drive the population into a collapse and it might be necessary to breed clown loaches in captivity to lower the pressure in wild stocks. This has not yet been accomplished without hormone treatment. The aim of the present study is to find out if it is possible for C. macracanthus to prepare for spawning in captivity without the use of hormones. The study was set up according to documentation about the wild conditions simulating the migration prior to spawning from greater rivers and swamps to smaller streams upriver. Although the experiment did not result in spawning it is believed that egg production took place according to criteria for identifying sexually mature fish ready to spawn. If so it would have resulted in the fish retaining or reabsorbing the eggs since they were not laid. A surprising result which tells us it would not be unusual with egg production in C. macracanthus in aquariums around the world.

Abstract:

Abstract The corrosion of steel in the global reinforced concrete infrastructure is at epidemic proportions. The resulting damage is seen in highway bridges, apartments, paper mills and aquariums. In North America reinforcement corrosion in concrete bridges and parking garages generates cost estimates that range from $325 million to $1 billion per year.1 One anode material gaining acceptance is zinc thermal spray (TS) coating. Since the first installation in 1983, zinc TSCP systems have been applied to reinforced concrete bridges, docks, parking garages and even aquariums. This paper discusses the performance of field applications of zinc thermal spray coating CP systems. The systems discussed have sprayed surface areas ranging from 280m2 to 24,000m2 The installations are on major concrete structures. The performance of both galvanic and impressed current systems are discussed.

Abstract:

This report summarizes findings from three surveys (n=76) and focus groups (n=30) administered as part of the Modeling Zoos and Aquariums as Inclusive Communities of Science (MoZAICS) for Autistic Individuals project. This study was designed to look across the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) field to understand what inclusive practices zoos and aquariums are currently using to support autistic individuals across the full zoo/aquarium experience (e.g., general visit, programs, events, design of learning experiences, volunteering, internships and employment). Surveys asked zoo and aquarium employees to respond to open- and closed-ended prompts about their organization’s current practices for inclusion of autistic individuals across four areas: the general visit; spaces for exhibiting, learning or working; human resources; and leadership. Additional questions asked about each site’s partnerships with autism-related communities (e.g., autistic self-advocates, community-based advocacy groups). Focus group discussions more deeply probed the specific practices used by different zoo/aquarium facilities as well as how these practices are informed and evaluated.
