Hey everyone, I work at the Academy of Sciences/Steinhart Aquarium
and we are looking for some pictures of corals and fish for some
materials. As some of you know, we are in the process of building a
new aquarium, due to open in 2008, that will have the largest living
reef tank in the world at over 225,000 gallons. To prepare for this,
we are starting grow-out of corals and fish this year, and will start
an "adopt a coral or fish" program, mostly for kids, to both educate
and raise money for the tank. We would like to produce some kind of
cards that kids could be given with a picture and some basic
information about the species to give them some ownership of their
“adoption”, as well as have some education value. So, back to the
picture part- having been on this board for several years, I've seen
some fantastic photographs of corals and fish up close, and would be
looking for some of your best shots to add to the information cards
mentioned above. While we couldn't pay for the photos, we would of
course give you photo credit on the publication/card. We will be
looking for colorful shots of the following species:
Corals (macro shots of frags or small specimens)
Acropora
Montipora
Pocillopora
Hydnophora
Euphyllia
Fish:
Tangs/Surgeonfish (purple, yellow, achilles, sohal, powder brown/blue
etc.)
Cardinalfish
Chromis
Anthias
Wrasses
If you are interested and can help out, you can e-mail your hi-rez
photos (300dpi) to [email protected]. Please make sure
to include the species name if you know it and your name for photo credit.
Thanks for your help!
Best, Peter
