Aquarium of the Pacific
Location
Take a journey of discovery through the world's largest ocean at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California. Meet more than 12,500 animals as you explore sunny Southern California and Baja, the frigid waters of the North Pacific, and the colorful reefs of the Tropical Pacific.
If you think it’s a chore to take care of your own pet dog, cat, or even fish tank, imagine caring for over 12,500 ocean animals in more than 50 exhibits!
That’s the daily task of the Aquarium’s husbandry staff. The Aquarium’s husbandry staff is comprised of more than 30 full-time animal caretakers, including curators (marine animal experts in charge of entire exhibit galleries), a full-time onsite veterinarian, aquarists (marine biologists), aviculturists (expert bird caretakers), mammalogists (marine mammal caretakers), and water quality and life support technicians.
