Extract

Much valuable information on aquarium systems was assembled in the published papers of the 1960 1st International Congress of Aquarology held in Monaco. To date no further congress has been held but Clark & Clark (1964) have collected together a number of papers on sea-water systems and a number of institutes have published details of their aquarium designs, e.g. for the Marine Biological Association at Plymouth (Wilson, 1960), Biologische Anstalt on Helgoland (Anon, 1959), Fishery-Oceanography Center at La Jolla (Lasker & Vlymen, 1969), Marine Laboratory, Aberdeen (Hawkins, 1971) and Sea Research Institute on Texel (de Blok, 1975). A very ambitious aquarium at Dalhousie University, Halifax - the Aquatron Laboratory - has not been fully described although a pamphlet giving some information is available from the curator, Dr Carl Boyd.
