Behind the scenes, a team of men and women (biologists, carers and technicians) work together to protect, reproduce, oversee and look after… the animals on-site. Thanks to them, the public can admire these faithful recreations of the ocean depths.
Every aspect of the show in the aquaria is life-like, from the physicochemical parameters of the water to the lighting and decoration and co-habitation between species. Everything combines to recreate the natural environment and thus allow us to observe the species behaving as in real life.
The teams at La Rochelle Aquarium work 365 days a year to ensure the animals are healthy, the aquaria are well presented, visitors are comfortable and newcomers are housed in quarantine, to study and monitor reproduction and to maintain the technical equipment (pumps, filtration, ventilation, lighting, etc.). The 3 million litres of sea water in the building are treated round-the-clock.
Every day: 1 to 2 divers enter the tanks and 18 kg of fish, shellfish, crustaceans, molluscs and plants are prepared and distributed among the 75 aquaria on public display and the 150 quarantine aquaria.
