Mobile aquarium uses wild-caught fish to teach people about Ohio River’s biodiversity

A mobile aquarium is being used in Ohio to teach people about the waterway’s biodiversity.






A mobile aquarium is being used in Ohio to teach people about the waterway’s biodiversity.

A travelling 2,200 gallon (10,000 litre) tank was set up at the Winton Woods Outdoor Adventure Expo, with the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission raising awareness about the waterway's health.

The tank is filled by fishing in the Ohio River or nearby bodies of water with electrofishing temporarily stunning the animals, which are then netted and put into a live well. The fish stay in the tank for up to three days before being released into the river.

A recent grant from the Duke Energy Foundation allows the aquarium to be free and reach new people, the Commission says.
