Abstract

This study has presented
information in order to reveal the general condition of the activities of
public aquariums in Turkey. Firstly, the location and number of public
aquariums in Turkey are determined. Afterward, survey questions were prepared,
which could show these business profiles. After the surveys have been prepared,
some businesses were visited and the authorities were talked face to face. The
business officials whom we could not visit were contacted by telephone and
e-mail. In the survey, care has been taken not to ask for information that may
transgress the public disclosure policy. The right to answer every question is
left to the authorities’ preference. For these reasons, the information
provided about the enterprises can only be sufficient to reveal the general
profile of the enterprises. According to this survey, a total of 13 large
public aquariums in Turkey have been identified in 2019 and there is a large
tunnel aquarium under construction. While 5 of the public aquariums of Turkey
are in İstanbul, and 3 of them are located in Ankara, there is one public
aquarium in Antalya, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Eskişehir and İzmir provinces. The majority
of these aquariums (8) are located in or near shopping centers, the others (5)
were located in the parking areas. In aquariums, whereas sea creatures are
allocated more space, the areas reserved for freshwater creatures are less.
Most of the aquariums have educational activities as well as entertaining
activities. Aquaculture engineers, aquaculture technicians, aquanauts,
veterinarians, biologists, graduates of fisheries technology and underwater
technologies are the occupational groups that are employed in public aquariums.
