From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Large aquariums exhibit a wide variety of species and animals in a large range of tanks. These are typically public aquariums and may also include oceanariums and dolphinariums, designed to showcase a diverse range of marine animals for the public.
In operation
Only aquariums with a total capacity of more than 10 million litres and/or a tank larger than 5 million litres are included in the list. The list is not necessarily complete; aquariums that may meet the criteria but do not have published sources on their capacity may not be reflected in the list.
