Qingdao Ocean Science and Technology Museum

1979, China Association for Science and Technology proposed to build a special science and technology museum, and decided to build a science and technology museum featuring the ocean in Shandong Province. With the consent of the provincial and municipal governments, Qingdao Marine Science and Technology Museum was established by Qingdao Seafood Museum, and the management mode of "one institution, two brands" was implemented. 1988 According to the opinions of Qingdao Municipal Committee, on the basis of increasing the exhibition hall of marine science, the name of "Qingdao Seafood Museum" was retained and named as "Qingdao Marine Science and Technology Museum".

After the completion of Qingdao Ocean Science and Technology Museum, it has made great efforts to give full play to the function of marine science popularization, divided the exhibition contents of marine biology, marine geology, marine physics and marine chemistry, made full use of advanced acoustic, optical and electrical means, and matched the specimens and models with the latest scientific research achievements of various disciplines, highlighting the participation of the audience and embodying the characteristics of entertaining.

Qingdao Underwater World

Qingdao Underwater World Project was formally established by Qingdao Planning Commission on July 1996, and the foundation stone was laid on October 6/kloc-0 in the same year.

1932: Qingdao Aquarium

1950: Qingdao People's Museum

1955: Qingdao Seafood Museum

1988: Qingdao Seafood Hall, Qingdao Ocean Science and Technology Museum

1998: Qingdao Marine Science and Technology Museum Qingdao Seafood Museum Qingdao Aquarium In the early 1960s, Qingdao Seafood Museum successfully transported the Yangtze finless porpoise from the Yangtze River estuary to Qingdao for 90 hours and successfully raised it. This was the first time that China artificially raised finless porpoises, which was second to none in the world at that time. In the early 1970s, Yu raised two bottlenose dolphins.

From the first successful reproduction of 1966 to 2000, * * * gave birth to 17, and the oldest individual lived to 24 years old, which provided conditions for studying the growth and development, reproductive habits and ecological and zoological behaviors of spotted seals. 1987, the Ministry of Forestry approved the scientific research project "Study on the Distribution Resources and Management of Spotted Seals in Bohai Sea", which was jointly carried out by Qingdao Seafood Museum and Liaoning Institute of Marine Fisheries. The research work was completed on schedule for three consecutive years, and won the second prize 199 1 at the ministerial level of the Ministry of Forestry.

1985, the Papua penguins who arrived in Qingdao from the Antarctic quickly adapted to the environment in Qingdao and lived in Qingdao Aquarium for more than 15 years.

China's third Antarctic expedition team captured two elephant seals, one male and one female, on the west coast of China Antarctic Great Wall Station in February 1987. They were identified as 1 year-old cubs. /kloc-0. It was transported to Qingdao in May, 1987 and sent to the Ocean Museum for breeding. The male is named "Nannan" and the female is named "Bingbing". Under the careful breeding and management of the scientific and technical personnel in the museum, the two elephant seals quickly adapted to the new environment, grew very strong and developed normally. One year later, the length of "South-South" increased from 2 meters to 2.9 meters, and "Ice Ice" increased from 2.5 meters to 3. 10 meters. 1988165438+10 month, the mother seal gave birth to the baby seal. Unfortunately, the baby seal was crushed to death by its mother. After Nan Nan and Bing Bing died, there was no artificial breeding of Antarctic seals in China.

Qingdao Aquarium also took the lead in domesticating tilapia from fresh water, and artificially hatched economic fish such as Pleurotus ostreatus and PARALICHTHYS olivaceus in the 1980s, especially the research and development of Pleurotus ostreatus embryos, which filled the embryology gap of cartilaginous fish in China. In addition, great achievements have been made in seawater analysis and fish disease prevention.
