Did you know?<\/h3>\n

More than 100,000 species on this earth, including us humans, need a specific type of water to survive \u2013 freshwater. However, with less than 3% of our world\u2019s water being this type, it\u2019s safe to say that freshwater ecosystems are incredibly valuable. Sadly, many of the UK and Europe\u2019s waterways have been damaged over the years by pollution, and it\u2019s up to everyone to help them recover<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Northern Streams exhibit is here to take you on a journey, giving you the chance to explore freshwater rivers and discover the wildlife living in this type of habitat.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n
\n

What is Northern Streams?<\/h4>\n
\n

Start your journey from spring to estuary as you wander through the Northern Streams exhibit. Freshwater is called such because it begins as water vapour that has evaporated from other bodies of water, and as the vapour rises it leaves behind any salt or other contaminants \u2013 becoming fresh. Most freshwater can be found in lakes, rivers and streams.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fish that call freshwater home are physiologically adapted to this type of environment, and as such, our Northern Streams exhibit aims to recreate that authentic freshwater habitat to showcase some of the most interesting species.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

The Exhibit<\/h3>\n
\n

What's it like at the exhibit?<\/h4>\n
\n

There are around 12 different species in our Northern Streams exhibit, with the water sitting at around 15 degrees to recreate a temperate climate for our fish. The exhibit represents some of the environments found in the UK and Northern Europe, and is home to a diverse range of fish from the planet\u2019s cooler waters.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

What will I find?<\/h4>\n

Northern Streams introduces you some of the species that call the beautiful rivers and streams of the British Isles home, as well as some waterways in Europe too. It\u2019s the perfect opportunity to discover wildlife that many will never have been lucky enough to see. So, without much further ado, here are some of the incredible fish you\u2019ll see here\u2026<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
