怀基基水族馆是添加ing a new and unique exhibit showcasing the rich underwater realm of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. All the coral, fish and other marine life were collected from the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument with rare government approval for collection. Included in this display will be some of the incredible fish specimens we’ve discussed here before — including masked orPersonatusangelfish,中央副本中断又名日本ese pygmy angelfish,黄色杠铃山羊鱼,一个未描述的蝴蝶鱼必威官网登录随行版和table corals part ofnew coral species在该展览中发现的所有地区都被发现。
7月2日开放,4,000加仑,30万美元的展览可能是圈养许多物种的唯一途径。超过7,000种不同的海洋生物使Papahanaumokuakea海洋国家纪念碑之家,更令人着迷的是,其中四分之一是地球上的其他地方。除了水族馆外,交互式触摸屏还将提供有关岛屿的重要性,它们的生态和生物多样性的其他信息,以及保留几乎未接触过的海洋生态系统的重要性。
“It’s a unique experience to see these animals alive in conditions that closely represent their surroundings,” said Andrew Rossiter, director of the Waikiki Aquarium.
该展览将帮助纪念碑及其政府合作伙伴满足他们为无法直接体验西北群岛的人们带来教育机会的使命。每年只有30至60人(主要是科学家)获得了难得的机会来参观涉及很大风险的纪念碑。纪念碑距离夏威夷主要群岛有1000多英里,并且受到严格限制。
“您是独立的,无法触及Medevac,”Richard Pyle, an ichthyologist at the Bishop Museum who has completed five scientific expeditions to the monument. “You are several days away from air landing strips, and you are at least a week away from having another boat come back. The ship is the medical facility.”
该水族馆仅在夏威夷发现,现在是最多的蒙面纱线。
“他们是博物馆的新吉祥物,”派尔(Pyle)带回了九个。“在一个水族馆中拥有这么多的水族馆是前所未有的。”
As we’ve documented before on the collection of rare fish, collectors go to great lengths to find these fish and they can be purchased for up to $20,ooo. The tragic death of collectorRob Lower去年是一场潜水,收集了蒙面的神仙鱼。
罕见的鱼类热潮和罕见的夏威夷标本在日本风靡一时,B-box水族馆和Blue Harbor始终显示出稳定的稀有鱼类,包括微小的蒙面的神仙鱼specimen.
It is incredible to see a display like this bringing the public closer to experiencing a part of the reefs nearly impossible to ever see in person. While we are interested in seeing the rare species from the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, we are wondering with the work the aquarium and Pyle have done, if we will happen to see some deepwater exhibits in the future featuring瘦肉珊瑚along with uber-rare species likeBodianus sanguineus或者日出霍格鱼in the near future.
