It's a Shark Summer at Adventure Aquarium - New Jersey 101.5 FM

Adventure Aquarium in Camden is celebrating "Shark Week" with a return of its popular "Shark Summer" interactive event now through Sep. 6.

From the aquarium's website: Shark Summer kicks off with Discovery Channel's SHARK WEEK! Skip the screentime and come face-to-face with 12 species of sharks at Adventure Aquarium, including our new Pacific blacktip sharks. Test your bravery by crossing the longest Shark Bridge in the world or touching a toothy friend in our interactive Touch a Shark exhibit.

There is the opportunity to put on a wetsuit and get in the tank with the sharks and stingrays. It's called the Shark and Ray Encounter and "gives guests the opportunity to snorkel alongside sand tiger sharks, sandbar sharks and Atlantic blacktip sharks in the 550,000-gallon Shark Realm exhibit. After coming nose-to-nose with sharks, guests will interact with and feed southern and cownose stingrays."

The usual shark attractions are there, as well: the shark bridge which is a rope suspension bridge over the shark tank and the shark tunnel which gives you "the experience of being completely surrounded by Shark Realm with dozens of sharks and 200 other animals swimming above and around you."

There are also shows like the live dive exhibition as divers swim among Pacific blacktip reef sharks, silky sharks, zebra sharks, and Anchor, a nine-foot long great hammerhead shark, guests can ask them questions.

If you've never been to the aquarium, I highly recommend it; it's a top flight facility and you can spend hours in there looking at all the exhibits. There are over 15,000 aquatic animals. For tickets and more info, go here.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. 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.
