Marine Explorers, let’s go on an adventure!

Anatomy of a Fish
So you happened to chance upon this write-up: A fish has a yellow colouration on the dorsal and caudal fins, with a spotted anal fin. What fins, we hear you ask.

A Fishy Good Time: NUS High School students get a first look at the Marine Aquaculture & Research Centre
The wildlife at Marine Life Park’s off-site support facility received a group of not-so-usual visitors – students from NUS High School of Math & Science. These students stepped into the shoes (or should we say fins) of our aquarists in giving the thousands of marine animals some tender loving care. As part of their Marine Biology curriculum for these inquisitive 15-year-olds, they were brought on an exclusive tour of this 20,000sq metre quarantine facility – the Marine Aquaculture & Research Centre (MARC).
Biswajit Guha: The Animal Guy
It takes a certain kind of love of animals to be the Director of the Education and Conservation team at the Marine Life Park; it is a whole other level to hug animals even when you’re allergic to them.

He shares with us his passion, his work and why he would love to be the “Reverso Ranger”.

He has found the answer – more or less – with dolphins.
“Looking out for certain parts of the dolphins, like the differences in the pectoral fins and dorsal fins, helps to distinguish them within a group,” he says proudly.
