Alipore Zoo Aquarium — Attraction in Kolkata

Aquatic lives are much different than normal terrestrial lives. Aquatic animals are those that live inside water. They have a provision in body to make their respiration. These aquatic animals are especially characterized as the one who don’t get a close contact with the world outside water.

Fish is one good example of aquatic animal. There are many types of aquatic animals. If these animals are in contact with the outer world in the absence of water they can not breathe they die every soon within few minutes. Fish consumes oxygen from inside the water molecules. They can not breathe oxygen normally from the outside air.

Many people use fish as their food, but this aquatic animal life is in danger because of continuous decline in their population. There are many factors that cause harm to the aquatic animal’s life. One main reason is the water pollution. Man is the only intelligent animal on earth blessed with the ability to think rationally. But this man has disturbed the life cycle of aquatic animals because of his indiscriminate activities. Many manufacturing companies spread their chemicals, wastages and experimental products inside water.

This pollutes the water which is home to the aquatic life. As a result, fishes are unable to breathe even inside water. Polluted water lacks oxygen inside and thus many fishes die even inside water. It is necessary to think on this issue as the aquatic animals and their life are in danger because of man’s mistakes.

Aquatic animals involve not only fishes but many other animals. There are many types of snakes also that live inside water. These snakes are also a part of aquatic life. These snakes can be categorized as the aquatic animal. Apart from snakes there are many types of turtles. But turtles, crocodiles and frogs are amphibians that can live inside water as well as on ground because they have got provision inside their body to be able to breathe both inside water as well as on ground.

It is responsibility of every human being to take care of aquatic animal and their lives. These species are depleting day by day. If this decline is not stopped right away, soon they will...

Visited day before yesterday after 20-22 years and was saddened by its dilapidated condition now. It was quite a colourful and bright place two decades back, but now it looks gloomy and shabby. I was surprised to see ticket price at Rs.5 and can't remember what was the ticket price at its inauguration. If the facility receives enough funding from the government then it might be fine considering more affordability for the visitor. Otherwise such a facility calls for a ticket price of at least rupees ten, if more glam is to be built in the gallery. More ambient illumination (which the fishes can tolerate) and prominent labeling of the fish names are needed with say, backlit LCD/LED panels at each aquarium. Flash photography may be banned but photography (no flash) must not be disallowed, rather encouraged, to have the place indirectly marketed by photos shared among visitors. The wash room (toilet) is a sham, the Gents urinal having no drain pipe from the bowl and no water flushing! If you wish to keep ticket price at 5, let Sulabh or any other agency run the wash rooms at one and two rupees rates. That possibly won't hurt people who understands the necessity of such a facility. Wish to see more information about the resident fishes on illuminated running message displays about their habitat, life, food habit and breeding. Again at each aquarium. Invite quotations from competent houses having expertise in this. Staff...
