The team at the National Marine Aquarium has been busy making plans to celebrate World Oceans Day today (June 8).

With the aquarium closed due to coronavirus restrictions, all the plans have been based around free online educational activities for all the friends and family to enjoy. World Ocean Youth Ambassador, Summer Snell, will also be on hand to answer questions.

Timetable for the day:
9:15am – The team will be live from the aquarium facility starting the day off with a spot of rock-pooling. Watch via the Ocean Conservation Trust's Facebook Page.

10:30am - Inky Intrigue (squid dissection) – During this session the team will be exploring the body shape and internal structures of these amazing animals. This is a superb opportunity to watch a live dissection, learn all about interesting molluscs, and complete scientific drawings. Watch via YouTube link on WODFS website.

11am - Shark and Turtle Feed - Join the Ocean Discovery Rangers at the top of the UK's largest exhibit as they feed these amazing animals, from Sand Tiger sharks to the aquarium's Green Turtle. Watch via the National Marine Aquarium Facebook Page.

1pm - Time to get creative! – This is the 'Habitats Create Challenge'. The team asks that everyone involved wears a fabulous ocean inspired hat! Viewers can watch the short instruction video and some of the tank footage to pick a habitat, then gather together craft materials and get involved. Watch via YouTube link on WODFS website.

2pm - Finishing a day of celebration with a World Oceans Day Dive Show LIVE, viewers can chat to the divers about the exhibit, maybe even while they are underwater. Watch via National Marine Aquarium's Facebook Page.

The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species.
