Featured in This Exhibit
You'll find juvenile jellies and plankton in our Growing Nutritious Foods exhibit and larval fishes in the Aquarium Larval Program exhibit.
What’s on the Menu for Our Animals?
In the Blue Planet Action Center, learn how aquarists culture (grow or raise) high-quality, nutritious food for our animals! Growing our animals’ food at the Aquarium allows us to reduce our impact on wild populations, add extra vitamins and minerals to make meals even more nutritious, and know our animals’ diets are clean and free of potential contaminants.
