It serves as a centre for public entertainment and education and scientific study. Most oceanariums are located in coastal areas. The world’s first large oceanarium, now known as Marineland, was completed in 1938 near St. Augustine, Fla., U.S. Oceanariums or Sea aquariums are usually designed and built in or near an ocean, bay, or river. They are designed to have expansive clear windows that provide maximum convenience when viewing the animals Oceanariums are more difficult to maintain than freshwater aquariums. Changes in salinity conditions confound the relationships between temperature, acidity, and oxygen levels of an aquatic system and create complex maintenance problems that Tequire constant attention if sensitive fishes and other organisms are to be kept ina healthy state. Oceanariums, however, have certain advantages. Many more different species of fish live in marine environments than in freshwater systems, so that a greater diversity of displays is possible. In addition, a saltwater environment permits the holding of such large and impressive animals as sharks, rays, and marine turtles, as well as seagoing mammals. Many oceanariums make full use of the ability of whales and dolphins to be trained, devising special acrobatic shows for the public. A number of oceanariums are associated with research or educational programs of universities, biological stations, and marine institutes. Arrangements may be reciprocal in that oceanariums can provide facilities for student training or experiments while the academic or research units can contribute specimens and professional advice about the care of marine organisms. 1.1. AIM The aim of the project is to design a oceanarium and adventure water sports complex at mahabalipuram to increase the tourism . It shall aim to change the way tourist and the people interact with the enviroiment . To build a research zone that will focus on conservation of species which will improve lifestyle of species . the oceanarium will educate people towards the marine life in a informal way with interacting spaces.Introduction En 1.2. THE NEED Living along the coastline brings the inhabitants with close contact to the sea every now and then. Around the world we see development around the coasts small islands countries earn a lot of money from tourism due to this coastal development The reason is the sea; the beaches are an attraction all around the world people through to beaches during vacation Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand etc. are the finest example of this. They realized the importance of the force of the sea and developed their waterfronts to the international standards. An oceanarium is as an essential part of this sea front development as it tells us that how beauty lies within the enigmatic sea. it is in itself a sea enclosed within an edifice. It also helps the research work going on regarding the sea and its creature. Conversation of species is the slogan of the oceanariums around the world. The need for an oceanarium stressed, as it is not just a recreational spot it is a research platform from where extensive researches on flora and fauna conducted 1.3. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT Tourism is a sector which provides one of the highest employment opportunity for every rupee invested. It is a sector that is affords self employment opportunities for particularly for unskilled and semi skilled workers. With more than 100 million domestic tourists and nearly 3 million foreign tourists visiting Tamil Nadu, an Oceanarium near mahabalipuram will provide a flip to the tourism initiatives in the region. A number of resorts and recreational facilities are coming up in this belt and is an ideal location for an Oceanarium The oceanarium has a very good scope in India because it will be the first of its kind in India. It would be able to exhibit the complete diverse collection of marine life in the world with an entertainment package. It would be something new for the people of India because an marine park at a very large scale has never been made in India. It will have a combination of educating and entertaining the masses with its conservation programsIntroduction za 1.4. WHY OCEANARIUM AT MAHABALIPURAM ?

OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN GUIDELINES An aquarium tunnel with a 100-metre walkway to observe about 250-300 marine species, an underwater restaurant with a capacity of 60 seats and a penguin park with 50 birds are some of the features in the world-class oceanarium the State government is planning to set up at mahabalipuram at a cost of Rs. 257 crore. The oceanarium, which would come up over 17 acres of land on the shores of Mamallapuram, would have alliances with universities and marine biology research centres, besides its commercial interests.Of the total 17 acres, the oceanarium would occupy only 6.54 acres and the remaining area would be used for fish stocking, game fishing, laser show and a turtle park. The special effect multimedia theatre with seating for 300 people is also on the cards for showing the wonders of ocean and other marine-based educational movies. The design norms of the project include an underwater restaurant and accomadation . Accultural food court, musical fountain, all-terrain scooter and cars, classroom for 100 persons with provision for have an audio visual show, souvenir shops, touch pools, are some of the other features mentioned in the document. Species will be brought from the Andaman and nicobar islands due to the abundance of marine species Recreational Activities : The oceanarium will be built in such a way that it would attract not only a single visitor but the entire family to the facility There should be recreational activity for people from all age groups. The design would also be handicapped friendly so that any handicapped person won't be deprived of a not being able to access the facility because of their disability. Education The oceanarium will educate people of all ages towards the marine aquatic life, it will educate the visitors towards the importance of aquatic life, will educate the people towards the endangered spices in water, and how to protect them Education shall happen in a very informal way with the help of staff and tecreational activities. Spaces for seminars and summer schools shall be providedIntroduction a Species and biodiversity conservation : To build a research unit that will focus on conservation of species, experiments should take place on regular basis to improve lifestyle of species, mating of species should take place to help increase the population of the species. A fish hospital is required to check the health of fishes on regular basis. The dangered species can be breeded in this quarantine 1.5.1. SPECIES ABUNDANCE AT ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS Due to its long coastal stretch, these islands have a very rich marine biodiversity. They harbour more than 1200 species of fish, 350 species of echinoderms, 1000 species of molluscs and many more lower forms of life. Among vertebrates, dugongs, dolphins, whales, salt water crocodiles, sea turtles, sea snakes etc. are common. Corals and Coral reefs are the most fascinating part of marine ecosystem here. So far 179 species of corals belonging to 61 genera have been reported. Reefs are mostly fringing type on eastern coast and barrier type on the western coast. Important genera includAcropora, Montipora,Pocillipora,Porites, Favia, Fungia, Gonopora, Millipora and Heliopora. Coral reefs are important breeding and nursery ground for fish and many other organisms and have been aptly called "The Tropical Rain forests in the Sea." 00 . sopeciesdctnean 3 500 ‘Species abundance 3 = 2 a0 : 3 8 200 & 3. @ 200 5 = 100 or carter nb iia Outs Soh puta ian diton Ataealgy Aton idara2. LITERATURE STUDYLiterature study | 9 2.LITERATURE STUDY 2.1.0CEANARIUM Oceanarium means a large scawater aquarium in which marine animals are kept for study and public entertainment purposes. The word oceanarium was derived from two words ocean and aquarium, the word was first used in 1940's where large scale aquariums where built for the purpose of study and entertainment. Ocean + Aquarium = Oceanarium A large seawater aquarium in which marine animals are kept for study and public entertainment. An Oceanarium can be either a marine mammal park, or a large- scale aquarium,, presenting an ocean habitat with marine animals, especially large ocean dwellers such as sharks. Oceanarium is advanced form of aquarium often located near ocean an features outdoor pools and aquatic environment with acrylic window or pothole that visitors to see the marine life from below the water surface. The Oceanarium concept is very interesting as it provides entertainment along with education. 2.2.DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE The first containers specifically designed for aquatic specimens were the strictly functional open-air tanks used by the Romans to preserve and fatten fish for market. It was not until the 18th century that the importation of goldfish into France from the Orient for aesthetic enjoyment created the demand for small aquariums, ceramic bowls. occasionally fitted with transparent sections, were produced. In the large public aquariums built in many European cities between 1850 and 1880, efforts were made to create the illusion that the spectator was entering into the underwater world. More recently, the trend has been to emphasize the natural beauty of the specimens and to make a sharp distinction between the water and the viewing space Regardless of size whether a small jar with a capacity of less than one gallon or a huge tank with a capacity of more than 1,000,000 gallons aquariums must be constructed with care; many substances, especially plastics and adhesives, nontoxic to humans, are toxic to water- breathing animals.Glass is probably the safest basic material, although polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylic plastics (Plexiglas). and fluorocarbon plastics are normally nontoxic.Literature study kun Fibre glass has been widely used and is nontoxic if properly prepared. Adhesives for sealing include epoxy resins, polyvinyl chloride, silicone rubber (except for certain coloured preparations). And neoprene. Metals are not usually used, especially in seawater, which is highly corrosive. Stainless steel, however, has a low toxicity, and is often used, especially in freshwater systems. Asmall aquarium can be constructed entirely of glass and without supporting frames by using silicone rubber as an adhesive. Fibre glass is probably the most practical supporting material for all but the largest tanks since it is lightweight, strong, does not deteriorate, and is easily fabricated into any shape. Wood, though widely used, is subject to rot and boring organisms and thus must be protected. Reinforced concrete, including special mixes principal supporting material used in the construction of large aquariums In modern aquariums tanks of a variety of sizes and shapes are often grouped together in order to avoid the "boxes of fish" food that characterizes some of the older, formal aquariums. Dry dioramas at the tear of the same rester the of distance, the tank habitat can be a natural one or one in which rechts been impregnated or painted to duplicate almost any environment mode aquariums attempt to illustrate the natural environment of the well displayed polished plate glass, fully tempered polished plate glass, and plexiglass are the most commonly used glazing materials. Polished plate glass is usually used only in small aquariums because it breaks into large pieces when it fails. One generally accepted practice is to glaze large tanks with two or three layers of tempered glass so that if breakage occurs it is confined to one layer. Although plexiglass is easily scratched, it can be re polished . accessories for individual tanks normally include filters, air pumps, lights, and electric thermostatically controlled immersion heaters, or perhaps alternately, some means of chilling the water. In aquarium buildings the tanks are usually grouped so that they have a common filter and method of temperature control water sterilizers may be included. Plumbing in large aquariums with multiple systems is sometimes complex, involving a variety of automatic controls and water-quality monitoring systems. Because of its cost and fragility, glass plumbing (e.g. For aeration or circulation of water within an aquarium) is used only in cases in which low toxicity is essential. Un plasticized polyvinyl chloride pipe is widely used. Fibre-glass pipe and epoxy-lined asbestos pipe are sometimes used, but lead and hard rubber pipe are obsolete. In seawater systems the growth of fouling organisms such as mussels and barnacles is avoided by providing the system with duplicate pipes and alternating their use on a weekly basis.Literature study ua When a line is dry, the few organisms present die and are flushed out when the line is again put into service Non metallic or plastic-lined pumps are better than metal ones in terms of toxicity, but stainless steel is often satisfactory. Airlift pumps (such as those used in home aquarium sub sand filters) move large volumes of water when the lift pipes are of sufficient diameter Generally, the most effective illumination is by incandescent lamps placed above the front glass. Fluorescent lights provide even illumination but may over illuminate the tank walls: coloured lights accentuate natural colours , and mercury - vapour lamps encourage maximum growth of marine plants . The introduction of some form of aquatic plant life is of practical value in an aquarium, although the presence of plants can cause complications. Aquatic plants consume dissolved oxygen and give off carbon dioxide; under the influence of bright light, plants also consume carbon dioxide and give off oxygen while engaged in photosynthesis. In turn, the waste products of the fishes form fertilizer or food for the plants and are consumed by them. This operates very well so long as light of a certain intensity falls on the plants the animals thus give off what the plants can use and vice versa Aquariums in which the plants and animals are believed to balance each other in the respiratory process are generally referred to as balanced aquariums. 2.3.MAINTAINANCE PROBLEMS The design of a large aquarium must take into account the requirements of the specimens, especially since exhibits at modern aquariums include all types of aquatic organisms: mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates as well as fishes. Among the many factors that must be considered are traffic flow patterns of visitors, reflections off glass. acoustics, and tank-maintenance problems such as water clarity, dissolved wastes, temperature ,tank decor, disease treatment, and nutrition. The primary requirement for maintaining aquatic organisms is water quality The water supply must be free of pollutants, including sewage and Industrial wastes, and it should be in gaseous equilibrium with the atmosphere to ensure adequate oxygen and to avoid super saturation with nitrogen In re circulating systems, water treatment must not only ensure clarity of the water but also purification of metabolic wastes. The source of fresh water is usually water supplies from which chlorine and other additives have been removed, either by carbon filtration or by the addition of a chemical. Marine organisms can be maintained in either natural or artificial seawater, the latter has the advantage of being initially free from disease-causing organisms and pollutants but may not be as suitable for some organisms.Literature study Ez 2.4.AQUARIUM DESIGN Defining requirements Building design should take into account a number of points. There should be a rather large lobby for receiving the visitors; it is a usual practice for public aquaria to receive groups of people: school classes, groups of tourists, visits from universities and visits organized by societies The entry to the aquarium display should be slightly delayed for the adaptation of the visitors to the dim light of the surroundings. Information referring to the exhibits and aquarium activities in the form of posters or power point projections can keep the visitors occupied while they proceed slowly to the tank display area. The whole way should be flat for safety reasons. The display area should be viewed on the one way pattern and the exit should lead, if possible, to a small Aquarium or exhibition place providing additional information mainly through preserved specimens and panels, posters and computer programs. This supplementary information will also prolong the time spent in the aquarium building. Eventually the visit should lead to an aquarium shop near the exit Visitors should not have any access to aquarium installation, laboratories or other ancillary facilities unless a specific visit has been arranged. programmed thoroughly and all safety measures have been taken. Space requirements for pumping facilities, the master tank, the control room, laboratories, storage place, tanks for fish quarantines and tanks for the reserve fish stock have to be taken into account. In addition, a small lecture theatre and a reading room are necessary for research and educational activities. Research laboratories in addition to the laboratories designed for the operation of the aquarium are needed if research activities are among the aquarium objectives.Literature study En 2.5.SITE SELECTION It is an advantage if a seafront area is chosen . The selection parameters are a trade off between high quality environmental conditions and vicinity to town that will be the potential source of visitors and academic activities. The most important factors to the technical aspects of the aquarium as far as the marine environment is concerned are (a) high water quality is absolutely necessary for the tank supply (b) wild populations of desired species in the area, form a good source of living organisms. Although aquaria tend to import living organisms from all over the world, small aquaria largely rely on the local marine ecosystem (c) endemic diseases and parasites (d) microbiological populations i.e. possible pathogens (e) coastal seawater circulation and wave regime: related to water renewal as well as to possible re suspension of the sediment in the water abstraction area The most important factors concerning the accessibility of the site area are: (a)distance from the nearest city (b) regular public transport (c) size of school population in the area (d) academic and research institutions in the area (c) national parks, conservation areas, ongoing plans in the area on conservation and biodiversity issues.Literature study zz 2.6. FISHES AND AQUASCAPING The art of underwater interior design has been dubbed aquascaping Just as naturalistic landscaping involves combining the living and nonliving elements of a garden in ways that reflect natural relationships, naturalistic aquascaping seeks the same goal underwater. Although aquariums are built on a much smaller scale than most gardens, you will discover that similar design principles apply to both. Knowing about species in the ocean will make aquascaping easy All the species of the fish found in the world are classified into the following three groups. They are: Superclass agnatha (jawless fishes) Class chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes) Class sarcopterygii (fleshy-finned fishes) Superclass osteichthyes (bony fishes) About 50 species of agnatha fish, 600 species of chrondrichthyes fish and 30,000 species of osteichthyes fish are found in the world. Most of the fishes in the bony group belong to the ray finned group. According to the biologist there are about 70 fish orders are found in the world. Sharks and rays; sturgeon and gars; herring-like fishes; trout and salmon; eels, minnows, suckers, and catfish; flying fish and relatives; cod-like fish; flatfish; seahorses and relatives; mullets, silversides, and barracuda; and mackerels and tunas are the main group of fishes.Fig2.1 Literature study Eu (Ray finned fishes CWviilk fish Ceili lainey ry Fig2.2 Fig2.3 RYT cote) ol Clara Lung fishes epoireniomes Fig2.4Literature study Eu 2.6.1. AGNATHA Jaws are absent +Paired fins are absent *Bony scales and skin plates were present in the ancient species but are absent in the living species *Gill pouches are present. They have seven or more pouches *Stomach is absent in the digestive system 2.6.2. CHONDRICHTHYES Fearsome predators and harmless mollusc eaters are the members of the Chrondrichthyes. The member of the cartilaginous fish poses true bone and also poses a skeleton made up of cartilage. Only the teeth of this species and rarely the vertebrae are calcified. Sharks, Skates, and Rays make up the group of chrondrichthyes. 2.6.3. OSTEICHTHYES *Have more or less bony skeleton and numerous vertebrae *Mucous glands and embedded dermal scales are present in the skin Have paired fins “Jaws are present *Gill arches support the gills and are protected by the operculum 2.6.4. SARCOPTERYGII * Primitive members have tail fin with a small amount of fin development above the vertebral column at the posterior end of the tail fin, 2 fins present, cosmoid scales present. Scales grow throughout life of the individual.Literature study The commercial trade in coral reef fish provides us with comparatively few large groups into which virtually all species can be sorted. Looking at potential aquarium inhabitants in terms of which group they belong to makes more sense than trying to treat each variety as unique. Thus, we can identify five basic types of marine aquarium fish: Fig2.5 Large, aggressive predators and oddballs usually do best if provided with a tank to themselves. Representatives of the other three groups can be combined in one tank to create a community that reflects a natural biotope.Literature study | 18 2.7. TYPES OF CORAL REEFS MAJOR REEF TYPES ARE, Fringing reef —directly connected to shore or order without any channel or lagoons . Barrier reefs — reef separated from mainland or island shore by a deep lagoon SS Platform reef — reef more or less flat which forms platform Atoll reef — more or less circular or continuous barrier reef extends all the way around a lagoon without a central island . OTHER REEF VARIANTS , Apron reefs Bank reef Patch reef Ribbon reef Habili Microatoll Cays SeamountLiterature study Eo Invertebrates, although they appear in great profusion in the aquarium trade, can, like fish, be sorted into relatively few groups. These are: © Utilitarian invertebrates @ Anemones e Other photosynthetic invertebrates e Symbiotic invertebrates @ Predatory invertebrates | @ Filter-feeding invertebrates @ Invertebrate pests 2.8.CLASSIFICATION OF INVERTEBRATES: Far more diverse than vertebrates, invertebrates comprise about 95 percent of all animal species. With the exception of insects, most invertebrates live in saltwater, with coral reefs possessing the greatest diversity of species. Nevertheless, comparatively few find their way into your local aquarium shop. Aquarists direct their interest most frequently to species with bright or interesting color patterns, and those ranging in size from about an inch to around ten inches, Utilitarian invertebrates : * These are the aquarist adds which perform the ecological task in a way to create ecological balance in the underwater ecosystem + They are not colourful and entertaining but they are most important species of the ocean. * Utilitarian invertebrates include algae grazers , snails , hermit crabs , small sea urchins , burrowing sea cucumbers , echiurids, peanut worms , sponges, bryozoans. + They filter food from water.Literature study En Fig2.6 Anemones * Anemones are mostly found in the tropical Atlantic and caribiean regions which will adapt to the aquarium conditions. + Currlicue anemone , pink tipped anemones , caribiean carpet anemone are some of the varieties. Fig2.7 Other photosynthetic invertebrates * These are mostly used in the mini reef aquariums. * They are colourful and attractive in nature. * Some of them are , false corals , seamats , leather corals ,pulse corals , organ pipe corals ,Georgian small polypcorals and giant clams.Literature study En Filter-feeding invertebrates + They are usually easy to keep if proper lighting and small amount of plantkons are provided. * Bivalves , fan worms , anthozans are some of its types. Fig2.9 Symbiotic invertebrates * The main purpose of symbiotic invertebrates is by removing parasites from the hosts usually larger fishes. * Some of them are anemone crabs and shrimps. + They live in burrows Predatory invertebrates + These are aggressive to pose a threat to the other reef inhabitants Invertebrate pests + They are serious pests to the ecosystem * Some of them are pyramid snails , harbour anemones mantis shrimps. venomous invertebrates + They are generally stinky * They are usually pale body covered with blue rings. + Eg: cone nailsLiterature study Ez 2.9.PENGUIN NEEDS: + Penguins spend most of their time in groups known as colonies, coming back to them from the ocean every year in order to breed. + They make croaking sounds which are individual to each penguin and help them to find each other in the colony. + the male and the female build a nest far from the water, under bushes, in caves or in open spaces. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PENGUIN TANK -Water temperature:17 °C -Air temperature:17 °C -Volume of water:110,000 -Water recirculation and filtering:4 times an hour -Air renovation:10 times a day -Number of penguins:21: 11 males and 10 females (2018) -Lighting :Gradual variation to simulate the daily light cycle -Species: Humboldt penguin (Sphenicus humboldti)Literature study Ez Fig2.11 FOOD: ‘They feed on a variety of fish, squid and krill, as well as some small shrimp- like crustaceans that are found in plankton.

Metabolic wates must be treated since they are not continuously flushed from the system. Plant growth in the aquarium , especially in marine systems are not usually sufficient to utilize the entire nitrate produced by the bacteria from nitrate Although some aquariums have operated many years with a minimum of water renewal it is normally necessary to replace from 1%o 10 % of the water per month to maintain a low level nitrates. The use of charcoal in both freshwater and seawater system helps to slow down the accumulation of nitrogenous wastes . Metabolic wastes also cause in the increase in the acidity of water.

Glass in other hand has a slight tint and the refractive index of the glass is different from the water so distortion happens where in acrylic has the same refractive index as water so the view is much clearer . +The huge acrylic tank is about 2 to 4 inches thick +Acrylic are also very good because they provide light to penetrate inside which is good for the coral reef system . *Acrylic is also used cause it does not allow water temperature fluctuation . Acrylic is also used because it has a better molecular bond than the glass . Any custom made shape can be made out of acrylic sheet What is Acrylic / Plexiglass? Acrylic, also known as plexiglass, is a versatile plastic material with a variety of purposes and benefits, available in a spectrum of colors and opacities. Acrylic plastic was first produced in 1928 and brought to the market by rohm and hass company around 1933, It was initially used during world war Il for products such as airplane windows, canopies, and turrets.Literature study Ea The physical properties of acrylic and plexiglass sheets Acrylic plastic is a transparent thermoplastic homopolymer that is often colloquially referred to as plexiglass. This plastic has unique properties that make it ideal for a variety of purposes, ranging from basic household items to fiber optic cables that power the world. These properties have allowed acrylic to enjoy immense popularity in manufacturing High impact resistance High optical clarity Innate weatherability and UV resistance Excellent dimensional stability Lightweight Excellent chemical resistance Out of all these properties, the most commonly cited advantage of acrylic is its durability. Despite its lower price point, it is 10 times more impact resistant than glass. In the unlikely event that acrylic plastic does break, it will fracture into dull- edged pieces instead of sharp, dangerous shards. These properties contribute to acrylic's popularity as windows for commercial buildings. Which is better ? + Acrylic is 17 times stronger and half the weight of the glass .glass is unpredictable substance as it tends to break due to flaws in material + Acrylic is 89% more transparent than glass of the same thickness .

LIGHTING Light can be said to be of 2 types: a) General lighting: provides uniform illumination over the entire area of a room the Placement of workstations. Localised general lighting also provides specific arrangement of workstation. b) Local lighting: Provides high illumination on relatively small area. It can be too bright and uncomfortable, unless surrounding surface are also illuminated as shown. Local lighting is called supplementary lighting. SCALLOP LIGHTING Ascallop pattern of lighting occurs when a conical beam of light encounters room surface. Room surface 'slices' through a cone of light creating 'scallops'. This distinctive pattern of light can be used to define entrances exits as also highlight paintings ,sculptures or plants FLUROSCENT LAMPS : It gives a cool white colour and Is used for general lighting. Its efficiency is 20% to 25% and it is cheaper than mercury vapour lamps. But its principal advantages being that a starter has to be used as a switch, which takes time for the light to be emitted. The other disadvantage being it cannot be used for focusing at all. Also it does not give the true colour of the object viewed. The most commonly used size and wattage of fluorescent tubes are a) 8" length -65 watts b) 8" length -85 watts — optimum wattage c) 8" length -I25watts — used when ceiling is high Florescent tubes provide light with little heat output and low running cost. For marine aquarium they are valuable, as they don't the growth of brown algae as neutral tight does. In fresh water, plants thrive much better with a little sunshine than electric light. Perfect acquarium should have electric light.Literature study Kn The provision of underwater lighting can increase considerably the attractiveness of a pool help encourage its use after dark. They can be due as general under water lighting or spot lighting. In underwater lighting checks must be made. * The voltage must be non -lethal anything less than 300 is satisfactory but 120 is often adopted. This involves provision of a transformer and special wiring. + The whole unit and cable be totally waterproof * All metal parts must be either stainless steel or ferrous material like bronze. * Care to be taken to ensure that all parts of light fitting do not came in contact with steel reinforcement in the wall, or else galvanic action may be set up result in corrosion of one of the metals. * Halogen light. cone light and spotlight for underwater fixture. 2.21.SPECIAL LIGHTING Lighting an exhibit tank with polarised light against a dark field background,semi trans-parent aquatic organisms can be displayed. These fishes real internal structural details. The present dark field illumination consists of a light source, diffuser , fishes with tank and a polariser in crossed position . In operation the crossed polariser reduces the brilliance of the luminous background to a very deep sapphire blue. Fishes in the tank between the polariser rotate the plane of polarization diffusion and by the isotropic properties of their tissues. Thus show internal details of their body brightly glowing against the dark blue back-ground. This is for exhibit that is to an extent transparent. The lighting arrangement of an incandescent light source in a parabolic reflector, a diffusion screen a sheet of polarizing plastic in crossed position. Viewing through polarizes; the light source behind the tank is virtually extinguished. Transparent animals are brilliantly visible against a dark field back-ground because of an isotropic property of organic tissues. The other components and commonly used aquarium lighting fixture are: * Flora set M.I.R * Metal Halide and compact Itvc * Quartz Halogen * Argentalux * Marine fluorescent tubes (pinkish glow), Osram or Toshiba .T hese lights also have an active role in the growth of plants used during aquascaping.

In 1974, this aquarium was expanded to feature five large landscape aquaria and a biological museum with theme-based exhibits and aquariums. In 1990, the facility was further expanded by a new front hall, cafe, improved toilet facilities and a schooler ser-vice. In the final years before the closure of the aquarium in charlottenlund, it had about 1,000,000 litres of water in about 70 aquarium tanks. In the first year of existence, the aquarium received approximately 1.3 million visitors — twice as many as expected. Ma consequence of this extra wear, as well as a wish of improving public education, 12.5 million DKK (approx. 2.3 million US$) were used for changes and renovations of the aquarium. The blue planet is europe's largest and most significant aquarium with an outstanding location on the shores of oresund, only eight kilometres from the copenhagen city hall square. Moreover, the aquarium in taarnby municipality is ideally located with motor-ways, copenhagen airport. The oresund bridge metro and international trains within few hundred meters.The blue planet is one of denmark's five most prominent tourist attractions. At the tourism conference "A new way to grow" 2012, the blue planet was chosen as denmark's best lighthouse project within experience economy, because of its potential for growth, influence on regional development, innovation, realization as well as its uniqueness and ‘reason to go” Denmark's aquarium was founded by civil engineer and contractor knud hojgaard. It opened for the public in 1939 just four months before the break out of world war II and seven months before the occupation of denmark. The consequence was closed borders and considerable problems in getting hold of exotic animals to the aquarium, However, through an impressive effort with Danish and home reared fish the aquarium was kept open and active. After the war, the aquarium was in a bad shape, and Knud Ho- jgaard initiated extensive renovations. During the next decades the building went through several modernizations and enlargements. For more than 73 years the original building in Charlottenlund was the setting for enjoy-ment and education for all ages. For the last years, however, the establishment was run down and a continuous demand for expansions and high end technologies was the order of the day.Case study | 64 Already in the mid-90s, Jesper Horsted, curator of Denmark's Aquarium, outlined the first ideas on how a totally new and modern aquarium should be designed. The old building needed a total renovation which would be costly without even providing guests with a significant better experience. A much needed enlargement was neither possible at the site nor economically feasible with regard to the overall improvement of the attraction of the aquarium. What was needed was a new location and new framings to give coming generations of visitors new and outstanding adventures. Inspired by visits to the world's most exciting aquariums and spiced up with ideas of his own, Jesper Horsted formulated his wishes for the design of a totally new Danish Aquarium. Principles which were later to become the fundament for the international competition of The Blue Planet. The Blue Planet is shaped as a great whirlpool . The walls and roofs form a single continious flow and are class in a way which emphasis the wavy outline of the building . The first and longest of the whirlpoo!'s arms follows the shape of the landscape and the building moving into the Iand . The whirlpool depicts the world beaneth the surface of the sea . At the entrance foyer when you look up there is a glass ceiling on which there is water that makes you instantly connect with the building as soon as you enter the facility. 4.1.2.ZONES IN THE OCEANARIUM The round room is the centre for navigation in the aquarium and through this centre visitors can choose which river , lake or ocean to explore .

It gives us the idea of how the architecture of the Palace of the Atlantis king was and insight of how the rooms were designed. The aquarium has 11 million litres of water used everyday in it's tank and it has more than 65000 species and creatures . The main centre of attraction is the ambassador lagoon . The aquarium has exotic species like Eels , Seahorses , Arapaima , Pirhanas ,etc and there are 2 touch pools where visitors can interact with the fishes.
