Join us in the back to take a look at our hatchery. Here we have, among other things, a majority of porcupine eggs🥚 Only a small number of magpies give birth to young, most of them lay eggs. In Norwegian species, the size of the eggs varies from three centimeters up to chicken egg size Each egg is surrounded by a horn capsule and in all corners there are small horn stalks🐟These are sometimes extended into spiral-shaped horn threads that attach the eggs to corals or objects on the bottom 🪸 ENG: Join us behind to take a look at our hatchery.

Say hello to Mina😃 How long have you worked here? I started working here in August one and a half years ago. I had finished my studies in chemistry, biotechnology and education. Then I got a job here at the science center as a scientist formidler🙌🏼 What are your tasks and what do you like about your job? "A lot of it is having learning programs for school classes and kindergartens. So that's one of the best things about having this job here 🔬 It's also very varied, so I think it's incredibly fun. Everything from standing at a food workshop and teaching how to make fish cakes and cod nuggets🐟 It's really great to be able to help influence them to eat more fish and get their families to eat more fish fisk🍽️ There are also learning programs that have to do with technology, which I think is really fun. It could be the sound lab that is about music programming🎶 Very happy in my job and nice to meet the students and see that they are looking forward to a different school day here with us🤩 #atlanterhavsparken #akvarium #ålesund #employee #visitalesund

One of the experiences at the science center is: Port Nation! 🌊 At Havnasjonen you can experience exciting activities about how the sea, fishing, transportation and export have created Norway as a seafaring nation 🐟🛳 In the exhibition, you can enter a kelp forest, go on a dive with the diving bell, make waves, build underwater landscapes or catch herring on the fishing grounds. 🌊 You can reflect on how transportation by sea, land and air affects the environment, manage fish resources, or find out what raw materials we export from the infinite kitchen 🍽 #atlanterhavsparken #aquarium #play #visitalesund #sea

Welcome to a tribute to the sea, life and love with young musicians from Musikkfolkehøgskolen Viken. The concert is part of the "Under the surface" tour. The sea is magnificent and overwhelming, but also vulnerable and secretive. Just like us humans. To take into account the fish that live in the Atlantic Ocean tank, we want to create a subdued, close and beautiful concert. Cod, halibut, catfish and skate will create a living backdrop for a different concert experience suitable for all age groups😃. We are looking forward to it🎶 #atlanterhavsparken #akvarium #ålesund #visitalesund #visitnorway #winter vacation #music
