Tourism in the Spanish region of Andalusia is synonymous with its largest city, Seville. While the city’s cultural heritage is varied and its weather quite pleasant, visitors agree that some of its newer, man-made attractions are no joke either. Seville Aquarium (Acuario de Sevilla) is a shining exponent of the same. The aquarium is themed around Ferdinand Magellan’s voyage around the world. With over 7000 species of marine creatures, your journey through the Seville Aquarium is likely to feel like a voyage as well. The aquarium holds aquatic life from The Guadalquivir River, the Atlantic Ocean, the Amazon River, and the Pacific Ocean.

Ecosystem and Species at Seville Aquarium
Guadalquivir River
At 657 kilometers long, the Guadalquivir River is the longest in Andalusia and a landmark of Seville. As such, the Seville Aquarium consists of multiple species found in this ecosystem. The river originates in the Sierra de Cazorla (Jaén) and travels through Andalusia. It progresses from the swift waters of its upper course to the marshy areas near its mouth, where the most marine biodiversity in Andalusia can be found. Notable species of this ecosystem that can be found at Seville Aquarium are Adriatic Sturgeon and the common carp.
Atlantic Ocean
It is the world's second-largest ocean, occupying 20% of the planet's surface. The Seville Aquarium's recreation of the Atlantic Ocean includes everything from marine habitats to the deepest abyssal zones. Starting from the Atlantic coast of Andalusia and going through the Canary Islands, the ocean stretches to the eastern coasts of South America. The Atlantic ocean covers a wide variety of habitats, including sandy and rocky bottoms, seagrass meadows, and deep-water corallines. As such, it has been represented at the Seville Aquarium by the likes of Mosaic Strip, Triggerfish, and European Lobster.
Rainforest
The Seville Aquarium also has a section dedicated to the American tropics. These rainforests are one of the world's most biodiverse ecosystems, with heavy rainfall and an average temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius. As a result, they have a relatively high humidity level, perfect for fostering a high density of life. Some of the most distinctive reptile and amphibian species of these American rainforests can be seen at Seville Aquarium including the Green Anaconda, Cuban Anole, and Green Iguana.
Oceanarium
Many creatures, including the biggest, most spectacular animals that live in the seas and oceans, call open waters their home. This is why the Seville Aquarium has a huge oceanarium that houses these magnificent species in a simulated environment. With a depth of 9 meters and a capacity of 2 million liters, it is the Iberian Peninsula's deepest shark tank. Guitar fishes, Turtle Masks, and various shark species, among others, can be seen at this part of the Seville Aquarium.
Indo Pacific
This refers to the area where the Indian and Pacific Oceans converge. These tropical waters bathe the coasts of significant islands like Sumatra, Java, Borneo, New Guinea, northern Australia, and the Moluccas, which are home to incredible biodiversity. The Seville Aquarium has depicted habitats like mangroves and coral reefs. The appearances of the organisms that live in these habitats stand out. Species from this ecosystem that can be seen at Seville Aquarium include Lionfish, Clownfish, Barrigudo horse, and Surgeonfish.
Other Areas
Apart from the specific ecosystems, the Seville Aquarium also has a few other zones consisting of several interesting territorial and aquatic species. The Jellyfish area lets you get up close and personal with these creatures. The African Savannah zone is home to two terrestrial creatures that are quite popular: the Nile Monitor lizard and the African Spurred tortoise. Seville Aquarium also has three other zones that should interest the ones keen on global ecosystems: the Tropical Rarities, the Wetlands Aquarium, and Recovery of sea turtles.
