The theme, ‘Across Continents through Worlds of Water’ captures the essence of the broad scope of exhibits on display in the public facility.
Beginning with the China Zone, visitors pass through representative countries of South America, Australia, Africa and the temperate zones that show coldwater fish and later, penguins.
The sea provides the theme for the second phase of the visitor’s experience where they view some of the most fascinating animals from colour changing cuttlefish to the giant Japanese spider crabs.
The climax of the visitor’s experience is the showcase oceanarium consisting of 120 metres of travelator.
Visitors move through a tunnel that displays five different marine environments including a coastal reef, open ocean, kelp cave, shark cove, and a coral reef.
AAT staff and consultants are proud to have been involved with Shanghai Ocean Aquarium through their united involvement with Living Ocean International.
