Aquarium Of Rhodes Island Greece
This video was filmed in the Aquarium Of Rhodes in Greece.
The building of the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodos was built during the period 1934-36. In 1937, under Italian rule, it operated as the Reale Istituto di Ricerce Biologiche di Rodi, until 1945, when, after the union of the Dodecanese with Greece, it was renamed Hellenic Hydrobiological Institute and operated under the supervision of the Academy of Athens. Today, the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes operates as a Museum and Aquarium as well as a research centre,and belongs to the National Centre of Marine Research. The aim of the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodesis the preservation and display of embalmed and living creatures of the Mediterranean sea. In the aquarium the visitors (200.000 per year) can admire specimens of anthozoa, molluscs (gasteropods and cephalopods), species of the crab family, echinoderms, and fish of the following families: Dasyatidae, Mullidae, Sparidea, Centrachantidae, Labridae, Scaridae, Siganidae, Mugilidae, Scopaenidae, Triglidae, Balistidae,Monacanthidae, as well as sea turtles. In the Museum are also displayed exhibits such as various kinds of sharks and other fish, sea turtles, toothed whales, (Odontoceti) and Mediterranean monk seals. Thanks to the research facilities of the Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes and the National Centre of Marine Research, the Station runs research programmes, covering every aspect of oceanogrphy in the area of the Dodecanese. It thus functions as a model research unit in the Mediterranean.
Also you can see the Ladigesocypris ghigii (Pisces, Cyprin idae), the endangered endemic freshwater fish of Rhodes Island.
RHODES - Aquarium & Museum marine life
The Aquarium is located in the basement of the Hydro Biological Station and offers the visitors the chance to have a close up view of the marine life of the Eastern Mediterranean, providing the impression of being underwater. With its open water circulation system, supplying 40 tanks with a total capacity of 75000 liters, the Aquarium provides natural living conditions for a wide range of interesting specimens of Mediterranean organisms such as reefs, sea flowers, octopuses, clams, decapods, turtles and numerous fishes.
Some of its activities:
÷ Oceanographic research in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas.
÷ Development of know-how in the field of aquariology.
÷ Study and conservation of endangered aquatic species.
÷ Rescue - treatment - rehabilitation - release of aquatic animals in distress.
÷ Cooperation with other research and educational institutes.
÷ Providing of training and consulting for a sustainable management of the marine environment Training of students on specialized subjects.

Aquarium Rhodes
Hydrobiological Station of Rhodes
Aquarium - Rhodes
It is on the southern edge of the island.
The building, listed by the Ministry of Culture as a historical preservable monument, was constructed during the Italian occupation in the years 1934-1937, based on designs of architect Armando Bernabiti, with sturdy arched forms, typical of the international style. The entrance door is decorated with patterns inspired from the sea world.
Since the integration of the Dodecanese in the Greek state, it has operated under the supervision of the Athens Academy as a Hydro-biological Institute.
Since 1963 it has being operating as an aquarium and museum under the name Hydro-biological Station of Rhodes and as a research unit in the Mediterranean.
It is active in the research of the oceanographic science in the Aegean and the Mediterranean, the study of endangered species, the cooperation with research centers in Greece and abroad, and the organization of lectures and seminars on knowledge and protection of the marine environment.
The aquarium represents a submarine cave with limestone corridors, decorated with natural seashells, which gives visitors the impression of being underneath the sea surface.

Plesionika Manage mision 3
About
Plesionika Manage is a pilot fishing study of the decapod shrimp Plesionika narval (Narval shrimp). The study is funded by the Ministry of Rural Development and Food, within the framework of the Operational program (OP) FISHING 2007-2013 in Priority 3 COMMON MEASURES INTEREST, Measure 3.5: PILOT PROJECTS co-financed by the EUROPEAN FISHERIES FUND (ETA). The total project budget is 300,000 euro and the duration of the project is 20 months from 01/03/2014 until 31/10/2015.
Why
The Narval shrimp Plesionika narval and its con-generic species Plesionika edwarsii are a well known traditional delicacy in the southeastern (SE) Aegean area and a gastronomic touristic product mostly famous in Rhodes, and its surrounding islands. In the recent years, local authorities and fishermen have seen a drastic stock reduction, but there has been little scientific effort in increasing our knowledge about the species. The aim of this project is to assess and plan an integrated system of sustainable management for Plesionika.
Where
The study will take place around the coastal habitats of Rhodes and the nearby islands of Halki, Astypalea, Kos, Tilos, Astakida, Symi, Karpathos and Kassos in SE Aegean Sea.
How
The study aims to assess and plan for an integrated system of sustainable management of the species Plesionika by using innovative, alternative, fishing gears under commercial conditions, through quantitative and qualitative monthly data collection over a one year cycle (2014-2015).
Who
The study is implemented by the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR) and the Project coordinator is Dr. Stefanos Kalogirou.

SUMMARY
=======
The Adriatic Sea is a body of water separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan peninsula. The Adriatic is the northernmost arm of the Mediterranean Sea, extending from the Strait of Otranto (where it connects to the Ionian Sea) to the northwest and the Po Valley. The countries with coasts on the Adriatic are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro and Slovenia. The Adriatic contains over 1,300 islands, mostly located along its eastern, Croatian coast. It is divided into three basins, the northern being the shallowest and the southern being the deepest, with a maximum depth of 1,233 metres (4,045 ft). The Otranto Sill, an underwater ridge, is located at the border between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. The prevailing currents flow counterclockwise from the Strait of Otranto, along the eastern coast and back to the strait along the western (Italian) coast. Tidal movements in the Adriatic are slight, although larger amplitudes are known to occur occasionally. The Adriatic's salinity is lower than the Mediterranean's because the Adriatic collects a third of the fresh water flowing into the Mediterranean, acting as a dilution basin. The surface water temperatures generally range from 30 °C (86 °F) in summer to 12 °C (54 °F) in winter, significantly moderating the Adriatic Basin's climate.
The Adriatic Sea sits on the Apulian or Adriatic Microplate, which separated from the African Plate in the Mesozoic era. The plate's movement contributed to the formation of the surrounding mountain chains and Apennine tectonic uplift after its collision with the Eurasian plate. In the Late Oligocene, the Apennine Peninsula first formed, separating the Adriatic Basin from the rest of the Mediterranean. All types of sediment are found in the Adriatic, with the bulk of the material transported by the Po and other rivers on the western coast. The western coast is alluvial or terraced, while the eastern coast is highly indented with pronounced karstification. There are dozens of marine protected areas in the Adriatic, designed to protect the sea's karst habitats and biodiversity. The sea is abundant in flora and fauna—more than 7,000 species are identified as native to the Adriatic, many of them endemic, rare and threatened ones.
The Adriatic's shores are populated by more than 3.5 million people; the largest cities are Bari, Venice, Trieste and Split. The earliest settlements on the Adriatic shores were Etruscan, Illyrian, and Greek. By the 2nd century BC, the shores were under Rome's control. In the Middle Ages, the Adriatic shores and the sea itself were controlled, to a varying extent, by a series of states—most notably the Byzantine Empire, the Croatian Kingdom, the Republic of Venice, the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire. The Napoleonic Wars resulted in the First French Empire gaining coastal control and the British effort to counter the French in the area, ultimately securing most of the eastern Adriatic shore and the Po Valley for Austria. Following Italian unification, the Kingdom of Italy started an eastward expansion that lasted until the 20th century. Following World War I and the collapse of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, the eastern coast's control passed to Yugoslavia and Albania. The former disintegrated during the 1990s, resulting in four new states on the Adriatic coast. Italy and Yugoslavia agreed on their maritime boundaries by 1975 and this boundary is recognised by Yugoslavia's successor states, but the maritime boundaries between Slovenian, Croatian, Bosnian-Herzegovinian, and Montenegrin waters are still disputed. Italy and Albania agreed on their maritime boundary in 1992.
