More than Fifty New Sharks are Born at the Seville Aquarium
The Seville Aquarium has achieved the birth of different shark species in recent months, such as small-spotted catsharks, nursehounds, and bamboo sharks.
The Seville Aquarium continues to expand its zoological collection with new animals. The good water and environmental conditions have made it possible for more than fifty new specimens of bamboo sharks, small-spotted catsharks, and nursehounds to be born in recent months.
Generally, these births occur in the quarantine area, where there is greater control over temperature and water quality. They remain there until they reach the ideal size to be transferred to the exhibition tanks, where they can be seen by the public.
In addition, visitors will find several remodeled tanks, such as the “Atlantic wonders”. The first of these tanks has been renovated to simulate a surf zone, and it is now home to wrasses, red gurnards, spiny red starfish, and scorpionfish. The second tank recreates the underwater part of a pier and the species that can be found there, such as impressive lobsters, sea urchins, and various large snails.
The “Lo+pequeño” installation, known to visitors as “the nursery”, has also been remodeled, now housing small-spotted catshark eggs, several newborn nursehounds and pipefish, small eels, plankton, shrimp, etc.
Another change made in recent months has been the transfer of the pair of Caretta caretta turtles to the Oceanarium. From now on, Chelo and Nando can be seen in the Aquarium’s main tank, alongside bull sharks, rays, etc.
The cylinder, which houses new species such as potbellied seahorses and nearly a dozen nautiluses, has become one of the Aquarium’s attractions. Next, in the coral tanks, the youngest visitors will find their favorite movie characters: the blue tang and the clownfish, as well as various species of anemones and corals.
