AQUARIUM Meaning and
Definition
-
An aquarium is an enclosed, water-filled container or structure designed to house and display aquatic plants and animals. It serves as a controlled and artificial habitat that simulates the natural aquatic environment for the purpose of observation, study, and enjoyment. Aquariums can vary in size and can be found in public facilities such as zoos, museums, or educational institutions, as well as in private homes.
Typically made of glass or acrylic, an aquarium must have provisions for water circulation, filtration, and aeration to maintain water quality and ensure the survival of its inhabitants. It may also be equipped with a heating system to maintain appropriate water temperature for the species. The bottom of an aquarium is often layered with gravel, sand, or rocks, and various decorations such as plants or artificial structures are added to mimic natural underwater landscapes.
Aquariums house a wide variety of aquatic life, including fish, crustaceans, amphibians, and even reptiles. To create a balanced ecosystem, other organisms such as snails or algae may also be introduced. Some aquariums are specialized to support specific environments such as freshwater or saltwater, while others incorporate both. They can be used for scientific research, breeding programs, conservation efforts, or simply as a pleasant display to provide entertainment and education to viewers.
