Product Information

When a new 170,000-square-foot exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago opened on April 27, 1991, it debuted as the largest indoor marine mammal facility in the world. The position as world's largest oceanarium has since shifted repeatedly in recent years. From 2005 to 2012 it was the Georgia Aquarium in the United States with an initial total water volume of 32,000m 3 (8,500,000USgal), later it expanded to 38,000m 3 (10,000,000USgal), and home to 100–120,000 animals of 700 species. In 2012 it was surpassed by Marine Life Park in Singapore with a total water volume of 45,000m 3 (12,000,000USgal) and over 100,000 animals of more than 800 species.

This book gives a lot of interesting information about the ocean and the animal that live there. There are sections all about whales, fish, reptiles, and every type of weird creature you can imagine! In 2001, Anheuser-Busch sold SeaWorld Ohio to Six Flags, which combined the park with the neighboring Geauga Lake to form Six Flags Worlds of Adventure. The animal aquatics portion of the park closed prior to 2004 when Six Flags sold the park to Cedar Fair. The Afrykarium is the only themed oceanarium devoted solely to exhibiting the fauna of Africa and located in Wrocław, Poland. A part of the Wrocław Zoo, the idea behind the Afrykarium is to comprehensively present selected ecosystems from the continent of Africa.

Taylor, Leighton R., Aquariums: Windows to Nature, Prentice Hall General Reference, New York, 1993. ISBN 0-671-85019-9I really liked that the information is presented with all the scientific names and facts about each type of animal. There are lots of details like how large a particular animal can grow, in what habitat they are found, and what their behavior and habits are like. This would be a great book to use as a reference for a school project, but it is also just fun to read! Featuring chapters that illustrate and explain creatures under the classifications of Plankton, Cnidaria, Molluscs and Echinoderms, Arthropods, Fish, Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Humans and the Ocean, Oceanarium is a stunning resource for home or school. With remarkable illustration that will make anyone want to dive in and learn more about the wondrous oceanic realms, this is a brilliant addition to the now extensive “Welcome to the Museum” series, which has featured the planets, plants, history and more. The oceans support all life on Earth as well as influencing the climate, dictating our weather patterns and providing half of the oxygen we breathe. Today, scientists know of around 230,000 species of animals and plants living in the oceans, but it’s thought that there could be as many as two million yet to be discovered.

Sectioned by types of sea life the book explains with just enough information but doesn't overwhelm the younger or casual reader. The illustrations are beautifully done. The basis of the books seems to be to education the reader to the variety and vastness of the oceans of the world, instill a respect and love for the oceans, and in the end encourage one toward a goal of ecological responsibility.

I have reviewed other "Welcome to the Museum Series" titles and highly recommend this series. Including: Animalium: Welcome to the Museum, Dinosaurium: Welcome to the Museum, Fungarium: Welcome to the Museum, Botanicum: Welcome to the Museum. The over 25,000 sea creatures seem to be swimming together, but sharks are separated from smaller defenseless fish by invisible acrylic walls. There are several marine species, such as the curious round stingrays, the very rare gigantic sunfish, seahorses, otters and penguins. In an annex inaugurated in 2011 are sea turtles, and sardines have their own tank since 2017.
