A public aquarium (plural: public aquaria or public aquariums) is the aquatic counterpart of a zoo, housing living aquatic species for viewing. Most public aquaria feature tanks larger than those which could be kept by home aquarists, as well as smaller tanks. Since the first public aquariums were built in the mid-1800s, they have become popular and their numbers have increased. Most modern accredited aquaria stress conservation issues and educating the public. From Wikipedia under the

If so, what is it and how long? Q. Is there a public transport from San Jose to Monterey Bay Aquarium? If so, what is it and how long? Asked by anggira dhita - Mon Jun 4 12:41:51 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. San Jose is 75 minutes from Monterey by car. As mentioned, it is not connected via any of our transit systems. however, you could check into the Monterey Salinas Airbus, which will take you from the San Jose airport to the Monterey Transit Plaza. From there, you could get a taxi or maybe even a bus to the aquarium. It's a round about way to get there, but if you cannot rent a car, it may be the best bet.

Q. like ppl complain that the fish should be set free and stuff, well do you think the ocean is better? always on the run, trying to find food, being hunted down, always on the verge on survival. its prlly like fish heaven. but then again, i could understand some backfires. Like i wouldnt wanna live in the same area for your whole life. Even though i love fish, i still dont like understand that there is like fish restaraunts and stuff in the ocean.lmao Asked by allyeah123 - Sat Jul 25 02:03:24 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. For the most part there is nothing wrong with it. The reason why the wild is better for fish is, while it's a much bigger fight for survival in the wild, the environment allows for a greater freedom of living and natural behaviour, especially since some public aquariums set things up for show instead of what the fish need. Regardless of this, fish have proven to do well in captivity and I don't think very many people really have an issue with keeping them as such. Mammals like Dolphins are a different story. Keeping them captive is nothing less than cruel, and significantly shortens their life spans. Answered by Ghapy - Sat Jul 25 08:58:11 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Public aquarium" |
