Macduff Marine Aquarium will reopen its doors on Tuesday after months of closure due to the lockdown.

The aquarium team has been ensuring the welfare of the animals throughout the closure but is now busy preparing to welcome visitors back safely in line with government guidelines from Tuesday.

The popular visitor attraction will be operating with social distancing measures in place, visitor numbers within the building will be limited and people will need to book ahead via an online booking system.

This will allow people a specific time slot for their visit, preventing queues at the aquarium entrance.

A new one-way system will encourage visitors to keep a safe distance from others while exploring the aquarium and rigorous cleaning and hygiene measures will be in place.

Aquarium manager Claire Matthews said: "After all this time we cannot wait to open our doors again. Our team has been very active online, bringing the aquarium into people's homes with live online events such as the dive show and fish feeding, but even the fish have been missing our visitors – they come and see anyone who approaches near their tanks.

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. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
