One of the most attractive sites of Sevastopol is Aquarium museum.
It belongs to the Research institute of Biology of Southern seas
and occupies the ground floor of the institute,
situated in the center of Sevastopol.
For years the museum brings to the visitors the history of the Aquarium
and the work of the institute. Flora and Fauna of the
Black Sea
are also represented here.
The museum now consists of 4 beautiful modern halls, where one can
see tropical sharks, the tiger python, from South west Asia,
the American lizard of Iguana, a turtle with flat shell,
fish of the piranha family and other unusual sea animals.
In 12 wall-tanks there live the stone crabs, bright wrasses, eelpouts,
scorpena and sea horses.
In the central hall there is a big basin, where bigger fish like sturgeon,
a flat fish and a big striped perch from the Atlantic Ocean live.
There is also a rich collection of exotic animals,
inhabitants of Mediterranean and the Red sea,
the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and Black Sea.
