Meet Bizarre Ocean Creatures at Huntsman Marine This Weekend

The Atlantic Reference Centre, part of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre, has the world’s biggest collection of North Atlantic marine species.
ARC Curator of Invertebrates, Dr. Gerhard Pohle, and Curator of Fishes, Lou Van Guelpen, will be bringing along some unusual and fascinating specimens from fish to crustaceans and parasites on Saturday, July 10 at 11:30 a.m., right after the seal feeding, as they present Bizarre Creatures of the Deep.

The scientists will be talking about how some invertebrates and fish have adapted to the deep-sea environment, and visitors will be able to see and touch some of the specimens.

The Huntsman aquarium has lowered admission prices in 2010 as construction continues on the new discovery centre, set to open in June, 2011.
