About Aquarium and Marine Science & Fisheries Centre

If you love and admire the sight of fish swimming in almost natural habitat, then this is the place for you. See the splendid sight of colorful swarms in all their glory. The place has a tank full of tortoise – a pleasure to see them at their best. The main aim of establishing this institute was to increase the information and the study of the huge variety of marine species that can be found in the ocean. This aquacultural museum is unique in this aspect as it strives to provide entertainment but then at the same time also helps in better understanding the environment and other underwater organisms. The exhibitions are very interesting and make up for a great watch, though they are small in scale and grandeur. But nevertheless, the center won’t cease to amaze all of its visitors.
