The focus of this aquarist internship is to learn how to manage an aquarium, from exhibit maintenance and cleaning, food prep and feeding, animal health monitoring, SCUBA diving, conducting acquisitions, and learning about animal welfare. The aquarist intern position is typically a 12 week role with emphasis placed on animal husbandry, professional development, and creation of a lasting intern project.
During a typical day, aquarists spend the first half of the day performing aquarium husbandry and life support system checks, exhibit cleaning, food preparation and feeding, and daily tasks such as water changes or water quality monitoring. The second half of the day is typically spent together as a team performing collection dives, focusing on a professional development topic with an accompanying activity, or working on other aquarium projects as needed.
