Breeding awardsWhat is the decorative paneling located at the entrance?
The wall on the right-hand side of the Aquarium entrance is decorated with numerous awards. At Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium the staff not only feeds the marine animals but it also conducts research on numerous other forms of life. We have successfully reproduced forms of life which were generally considered to be very difficult to reproduce under these kinds of breeding conditions.
