MOU Agreement： France Paris aquarium

We signed an MOU with the Paris Aquarium in 2016 and have maintained exchanges for over a decade.
Aiming for world-class jellyfish exhibits, we share husbandry techniques and exchange jellyfish specimens.

In fact, with the Paris Aquarium’s cooperation, we’ve acquired jellyfish from around the world. This has significantly increased the number of species of jellyfish exhibited at Kamo Aquarium and improved our breeding techniques.

We sometimes go on joint collection trips overseas and conduct training sessions at each other’s aquariums.

We hope to keep this wonderful relationship going forward.
Once again, thank you.
