Hall of Fishes/Shark ReefDiscover a stunning variety of Pacific marine life as you travel through the Arthur M. and Kate F. Tode Hall of Fishes. Showcasing sea life from more than sixty habitats, your journey begins with the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest along the California coast before heading down to the tropical waters of Mexico and the Caribbean.
Midway through your journey, a large 70,000-gallon kelp forest tank filled with magnificent marine animals will captivate you as you watch from a specially designed viewing gallery. You can also view the kelp tank exhibits on line via our Kelp Cam .
Just beyond are exhibits portraying the habitats and creatures of the tropical waters of Mexico, followed by coral reef displays.
The Lynne and Howard Robbins Shark Reef exhibit in the Robert Smargon courtyard is another highlight you won't want to miss. This fascinating 13,000-gallon tank, accompanied by interpretive panels on shark biology and conservation, displays shark species that inhabit tropical reef habitats including whitetip and blacktip reef sharks, brown banded bamboo sharks, Port Jackson sharks, and wobbegongs. |
