This exclusively marine collection located in southern France is quiet varied and interesting.
I visited it this afternoon, so I'll give a brief summary of the elements that I think are worth mentioning here.
- The mixed pinniped enclosure currently contains 0.4 harbor seals and 0.3 South American sea lions.
- There is currently 0.0.1 Loggerhead turtle in the tunnel tank.
While updating the species I saw on ZooTierListe, I noticed that the aquarium has acquired several new rarities (from a European perspective), and since I know that some people here might be interested, here is the list :
- Northern wobbegong (Orectolobus wardi) (Bringing the amount of rare wobbegong species to 3)
- Striped catshark (Poroderma africanum)
- Bat eagle ray (Myliobatis californica) (Probably the most notable and attractive rarity of the list)
- Javanese cownose ray (Rhinoptera javanica)
- Yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis)
- Birdbeak burrfish (Cyclichthys orbicularis)
- Five-lined cardinalfish (Cheilodipterus quinquelineatus)
- Seale's cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus sealei)
- Orangeback fairy-wrasse (Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis)
- Seale's cardinalfish (Ostorhinchus sealei)
- False herring (Harengula clupeola)
