Mediterranean species are collected at sea by the Aquarium team, diving or using coastal fishing devices on board the Physalie, a small 24-foot boat. For tropical species, the means of supply vary: exchanges with other public aquaria, importing directly from the country of origin or expeditions organized in several regions of the world (Djibouti, 1989; Hourghade - Red Sea - 1993; etc.).

Forty days of uncertainty

Even if the capture is done with the necessary know-how, for the animal it is a new situation which it must face with more or less stress. In a state of shock, it is more sensitive to illnesses than in its normal condition. On arrival at the aquarium are given acclimatization are critical periods during which animals and plants are given special care in the quarantine area of the reservation.
