The count takes place over four weeks from December to January and involves each fish being counted three times by different members of staff to ensure the tally is accurate.
General Manager of #SEALIFE #Blackpool, Rachel Sipes, says: ‘Our stocktake is one of the most exciting occasions of the year for staff and helps us to understand how our population is growing and to keep track of the location of our inhabitants.
‘We’re pleased with the growth over the past year, when we have welcomed 671 more fish to our tanks. More than 100 babies were born here in 2015, including sharks, rays, and seahorses.’
On Blackpool’s seafront promenade, SEA LIFE Blackpool has been welcoming guests for more than 20 years. Visitors can learn how they can help to protect species living underwater near and far, with more than 50 displays and 2,000 aquatic creatures.
SEA LIFE is actively involved in conservation, research, and rescue projects, and believes that raising awareness of the importance of safeguarding the oceans and their inhabitants is one of its major priorities.
