Photo of the Week: Fish Herding

Divers armed with nets remove fishes from the 70,000-gallon kelp forest exhibit at Birch Aquarium at Scripps. From Jan. 6 through Feb. 7, 2014, Birch Aquarium at Scripps’s kelp forest exhibit will be off display while minor repairs are made to the tank’s concrete structure. Aquarists will also use this opportunity to freshen the exhibit’s look with new animals. For details on the reasons behind the closure, see http://scrippsblogs.ucsd.edu/onboard/2013/12/30/kelp-forest-tank-under-construction-getting-ready/
