Notes from an Encounter with a Stejneger’s Beaked Whale | Hugh

Introducing Aquarist Volunteer Chris Corpus | Chris
Hi there, fish-fans! My name is Chris Corpus and I’m very excited to be joining the team of bloggers here at the Aquarium of the Pacific.
I have been studying and caring for fish as a hobby for over 10 years. I have volunteered at the Aquarium for almost 2 years now, most of it as an aquarist in the Husbandry department. What does an aquarist do? Well, essentially being an aquarist is simply being a glorified janitor for fish!
