An aquarium system has the ability to connect people to environments. A total of 50 aquariums have been displayed of the public Aquarium of Marine Biological Research Station since 2014 at Zadgaon Ratnagiri. Every year, one-two lakh people were visited to watch aquarium and museum. Fresh-water, brackish-water and marine fish and shell fishes are displayed with taxonomic and common name with important information in the aquaria for public awareness of aquatic world. All these animals need specific methods of collection; the adaptability of every species is species specific depending on the biology, life cycle and behavior of each species. There are also gaining knowledge of different feeding requirements, different habitat arrangements in the display tanks, different lighting and different aeration condition. Aquarium has ideal places for understanding on husbandry, life cycles, reproduction, behavior, auto ecology and fish pathology.The main objectives are to make the general public awareness in respect of coastal biodiversity conservation, fish culture and sustainable fisheries development, livelihood particularly the fishermen, fisheries entrepreneurs and fish farmers etc. In addition to formal educational opportunities, non formal education to visitors, schools and undergraduates seems to become a major mission of aquarium. Aquarium tank displays and preserved biological material enhance environmental awareness, encouraging people to adopt environmentally responsible. The study was proposed to evaluate required basic information on aquarium displays for the visitors to awareness about environmental education and conservation of aquatic life.
