The Dead Sea section of the Four Seas Gallery at the Aquarium will be fully renovated in the coming weeks.
The upgrade will include the addition of a tank for the Dead Sea Tooth Carp - a unique species of killifish that lives in the freshwater springs, streams, pools and sinkholes of three fragmented areas near the Dead Sea in both Israel and Jordan.
It is found nowhere else in the world, and has been classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. The Aquarium will establish a breeding nucleus for this species to act as a backup or “ark” for the wild population given the fragile state of its current habitat.
