Water is an essential element for life, within the water live organisms that for millions of years were adapting characteristics in their anatomy and physiology to be able to live in an environment as extreme and inhospitable as the seas, rivers, oceans! This post is very special for me because I have prepared images of fresh and salt water aquatic creatures that you did not even know existed, for this visit the Vasco de Gama aquarium! get comfortable and enjoy the post!๐๐๐
El agua es un elemento indispensable para la vida, dentro del agua habitan organismos que durante millones de aรฑos fueron adaptando caracteristicas en su anatomia y fisiologia para poder vivir en un ambiente tan extremo e inhรณspito como los mares, rios oceanos! Este post es muy especial para mi porque tengo preparado imagenes de criaturas acuaticas de agua dulce y salada que ni siquiera sabias que existian, para ello visite el acuario de vasco de gama! ponte comodo y disfruta del post!๐จโ๐ซ๐จโ๐๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
WELCOME TO THE VASCO AQUARIUM๐คฏ/ BIENVENIDO AL ACUARIO DE VASCO๐ก๐ ๐
Ok my friend and friend, you are in the presence of the famous Vasco de Gama aquarium, we can find it in the capital of Lisbon, this aquarium is a historical wonder because it is the oldest in Portugal it was inaugurated in 1898 in that year it opens to the public for the exhibition of various aquatic organisms that were preserved by King Carlos I.๐๐
Ok mi amigo y amiga, estas en presencia del famoso acuario de Vasco de Gama, podemos encontrarlo en la capital de Lisboa, este acuario es una maravilla historica porque es el mas antiguo de Portugal fue inagurado en 1898 en ese aรฑo abre al publico para la exibicion de diversos organismos acuaticos que fueron preservados por el Rey Carlos I.๐ฎ๐ฎ
When you visit the aquarium you will be impressed by the large number of species and aquariums that the site has, the cost was very little, you only pay 5 euros per person if you are an adult! Currently the aquarium is part of the Portuguese Navy, so it is semi-private, getting here is relatively easy, you have access to the train, transport, the metro! if you come to Portugal you cannot miss it!๐๐ฉ๐ค
Cuando visite el acuario quede impresionado por la gran cantidad e especies y acuarios que dispone el sitio, el costo fue muy poco solo pagas 5 euros por persona si eres adulto! actualmente el acuario forma parte de la marina de Portugal, por lo que es semi-privado, llegar aqui es relativamente facil tienes acceso al tren, a transporte, al metro! si vienes a Portugal no puedes dejar de visitarlo!๐ค๐ค
THE SECOND OLDEST IN THE WORLD๐ฎ๐คฏ/ EL SEGUNDO MAS ANTIGUO DEL MUNDO๐ก๐ ๐
I definitely did not expect that the second oldest aquarium in the world was this one, it is a piece of Portuguese history and suitable for the public of all ages, inside the aquarium you can take a tour of the various aquatic ecosystems including tropical and marine water! as well as we can also learn about invasive species, and the main marine ecosystems of Portugal!๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฅฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Definitivamente no me esperaba que el segundo acuario mas antiguo del mundo fuera este, es una pieza de historia Portuguesa e indicada para el publico de todas las edades, dentro del acuario podras dar un recorrido a los diversos ecosistemas acuaticos incluyendo agua tropical y marinos! asi como tambien podremos aprender sobre especies invasoras, y los principales ecosistemas marinos de Portugal!๐งญ๐๐
MY EXPERIENCE WITH CARP FISH๐ฎ๐คฏ/ ALIMENTANDO EL PEZ CARPA๐ก๐ ๐
Surely you have seen it in photographs, or movies! I present to you the famous carp fish or KOI, the name "koi" was added to all the colorful fish that are part of the common carp, they are very beautiful and eye-catching! I dare say that it is the most sold outdoor fish in the world, it is commonly used to place it in lakes, gardens!๐๐
De seguro lo has visto en fotografias, o peliculas! te presento al famoso pez carpa o KOI, el nombre "koi" se le anadio a todos los peces coloridos que forman parte de las carpas comunes, son muy bonitos y llamativos! me atrevo a decir que es el pez de exterior mas vendido a nivel mundial, es comunmente usado para colocarlo en lagos, jardines!๐๐๐๐งก
These animals are of Japanese origin and are one of the longest-lived animals on the planet, a koi can live up to 40 years, they are extremely sociable, and intelligent! they get to interact with each other and they have memory, at least here in this small lake when the fish see people they come to ask for food!๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ค๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Estos animales son de origen Japones y son uno de los animales mas longevos del planeta un koi puede vivir hasta 40 anos, son extremadamente sociables, e inteligente! consiguen interactuar uno con los otros y tienen memoria, por lo menos aqui en este pequeno lago cuando los peces ven a las personas se acercan para pedir comida!๐จโ๐ซ๐จโ๐
TIME TO EAT๐ฎ๐คฏ/ HORA DE COMER๐๐๐ก๐ ๐
The aquarium gives us a very fun possibility to learn a little about these colorful fish, for example for only fifty cents we can buy a capsule with food for carp and feed them, a very interesting experience that I know children would love, and adults of course too! XD๐ฅก๐ฅ ๐ฎ๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
El acuario nos da una posibilidad muy divertida de aprender un poco sobre estos peces coloridos, por ejemplo por tan solo cincuenta centimos podemos comprar una capsula con comida para carpas y alimentarlas, una experiencia muy interesante que se que los ninos adorarian, y claro los adultos tambien! xD๐๐
In the little that I observed them while they were feeding I realized that it was a typical frenzy for food, the youngest and strongest were always the ones that fed first, then I saw smaller ones at the back of the lake so there seems to be some hierarchy! those from behind only had the leftover! interesting I still did not enter the museum and I was already having fun and learning!๐ค๐ฎ๐จโ๐
En lo poco que las observe mientras se alimentaban me di cuenta que era una tipica competencia frenetica por alimento, las mas jovenes y robustas eran siempre las que se alimentaban de primero, luego vi unas mas pequenas en la parte de atras del lago por lo que parece existir alguna jerarquia! los de atras solo les tocaba la sobra! interesante aun no entraba en el museo y ya me divertia y aprendia!๐โโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ
SUPER FUN๐คฃ๐ xD
MY GOD HOW MANY MOUTHS๐
Well, after feeding the carp, it was time to enter our aquarium and I was very anxious. It was the first time I visited it and they had already told me very well about it!๐ค๐
Let's do it๐ฎ๐คฏ/ listo para la accion๐๐๐ก๐ ๐
Ready we pay the tickets and our first experience is to see a small monitor with an interesting data that says "ONE MONTH AFTER BEING FREED 1000KM TRAVELED" what does this mean? Well my friend, this aquarium also has a science section and they have to contribute something to Biology. In Portugal they released a sea turtle and put a chip on it to monitor its steps, so they can get behavioral data!๐๐
Listo pagamos las entradas y nuestra primera experiencia es ver un pequeno monitor con un dato interesante que dice asi "UN MES DESPUES DE SER LIBERTADA 1000KM RECORRIDOS" que significa esto? bueno mi amigo este acuario tambien tiene una seccion de ciencia y tienen que aportar algo a la Biologia en Portugal soltaron una tortuga marina y le colocaron un chip para monitorear sus pasos, asi pueden obtener datos de comportamiento!๐จโ๐ซ๐ฉโ๐ซ๐ฉโ๐ป
Marine life is a crazy thing, every day you see a new thing and also discover new species! If I am not deceived, on one occasion I read that the ocean was the least explored place by man, therefore it is expected to discover thousands of new species!๐ฎ๐ฎ
La vida marina es una cosa de loco, todos los dias ves una cosa nueva y tambien descubren especies nuevas! si no me engano en una ocasion lei que el oceano era el sitio menos explorado por el hombre por tanto se espera descubrir miles de especies nuevas!๐ฅ๐ฅ
Imagine the complexity of things tell me what do you see in the photo ??? for an inexperienced eye a fish and some rocks, for a person with a little knowledge a marine fish and some corals, for an expert on the subject or someone with general knowledge (a surgical fish and some corals, with millions of interacting microorganisms each other and some performing symbiosis) I think the moral of this is the more we know about something, the more complex it becomes! and we still don't have the answers for everything!๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Imaginate tu la complejidad de las cosas dime que es lo que ves en la foto??? para un ojo inexperto un pez y unas rocas, para una persona con un poco de conocimiento un pez marino y unos corales, para una persona experta en el tema o alguien con conocimiento general (un pez quirurjico y algunos corales, con millones de microorganismos interactuando entre si y algunos realizando simbiosis) creo que la moraleja de esto es mientras mas sabemos sobre algo mas complejo se hace! y aun no tenemos las respuestas para todo!๐ง ๐ง ๐ง
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WATERS๐ฎ๐คฏ/DIFERENCIA ENTRE AGUAS๐๐๐ก๐ ๐
The aquatic world is a complex issue because at first glance water is water for us! but physicochemically and biologically the bodies of water have very marked differences and that means that each species that lives in it has different adaptations! I think it is easier to see an example with tropical water! we are going to see some African cyclides!๐๐
Es un tema complejo el mundo acuatico porque a simple vista el agua es agua para nosotros! pero fisicoquimicamente y Biologicamente los cuerpos de aguas tienen diferencias muy marcadas y eso hace que cada especie que viva en ella tenga adaptaciones diferentes! creo que es mas facil de ver un ejemplo con el agua tropical! vamos a ver unos ciclidios africanos!๐ถ๐ถ
Each aquarium has a different vegetation and decoration, and it must be armed with the needs of each fish! For example, an African cyclidium, as its name indicates, originates from Africa, but within Africa there are other cyclidia that do not live in the same type of water, some live in rivers in Africa, others are from Malawi, and never all these fish can live in the same aquarium because they can die! This happens because each type of water has different parameters, for example pH, temperature.๐๐
Cada acuario tiene una vegetacion y decoracion diferente, y es que debe armarse con las necesidades de cada pez! por ejemplo un ciclidio africano como su nombre lo indica tiene origen de africa pero dentro de africa hay otros ciclidios que no viven en un mismo tipo de agua, algunos viven en rios de africa otros son de Malawi, y nunca todos estos peces pueden convivir en un mismo acuario porque pueden morir! esto sucede porque cada tipo de agua tiene parametros diferentes por ejemplo pH, temperatura.๐คฉ๐คฉ
HISTORY OF THE AQUARIUM๐ฎ๐คฏ/HISTORIA DEL ACUARIO๐๐๐ก๐ ๐
The project of this aquarium was dedicated to the travels of the great famous discoverer Vasco de Gama, he was an important figure in the world since he discovered India, at that time Portugal and Spain were the two world powers! the project received the support of the great King Carlos I who was also a pioneer in the oceanography of Portugal!๐๐
El proyecto de este acuario fue dedicado a los viajes del gran famosos descubridor Vasco de Gama, fue un personaje importante en el mundo ya que descubrio la India, en esa epoca Portugal y Espana eran las dos potencias mundiales! el proyecto recibio el apoyo del gran Rey Carlos I que tambien fue un pionero en la oceanografia de Portugal!๐คฉ๐คฉ
I think that in school they taught us the humility that Prince Carlos had when he was very young, he was raised as a normal person, so much so that he himself chose the passion of studying the sea and its mysteries! "He was a prince who always dreamed of the bottom of the sea" The fantastic thing about the museum is that it has preserved specimens since 1896 and they are still intact! This lantern fish was captured by Carlos I in one of his expeditions, they live more than 2000km deep!๐๐๐
Creo que en la escuela nos ensenaban la humildad que tenia el principe Carlos cuando era muy joven, fue criado como una persona normal, tanto que el mismo escogio la pasion de estudiar el mar y sus misterios! "Fue un principe que siempre sono con el fondo del mar" lo fantastico del museo es que tiene ejemplares en conservacion desde 1896 y aun se mantienen intactos! este pez linterna fue capturado por Carlos I en una de sus expediciones, viven mas de 2000km de profundidad!๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฐ
One of my favorite stages inside the museum is to see the records of King Carlos I, in which we can see annotations about the Biology of some species that he captured and that are inside the museum, in addition this great character was also a painter and inside we can see some of his paintings!๐๐
Una de mis etapas preferidas dentro del museo es ver los registros del Rey Carlos I, en el podemos ver anotaciones sobre la Biologia de algunas especies que el capturo y que estan dentro del museo, ademas este gran personaje tambien era pintor y dentro podemos ver alguna de sus pinturas!๐๐๐ก
The museum was inaugurated on May 21, 1898 the main mission of the museum was to display all the collections that the prince had captured in all his trips, for this odyssey he used his ship called "amelia" in 1916 the museum received some remodeling to expand it and include new aquariums!๐ค๐ค
El museo fue inagurado el 21 de mayo de 1898 la mision principal del museo era exihibir todas las colectas de que el principe habia capturado en todos sus viajes, para esta odisea utilizo su barco llamado "amelia" en 1916 el museo recibio algunas remodelaciones para expandirlo e incluir nuevos acuarios!๐ฎ๐ฎ
AN INALUABLE TREASURE๐ฎ๐คฏ/UN TESORO INVALUABLE๐ก๐ ๐
I always ask myself this question, what would be our knowledge if museums did not exist? where we would keep so much information and historical records! For me, museums are historical relics that every human being should know how to value, totally, who in his life has not been to a museum? to an aquarium? ...๐ฅโญ๐
Siempre me hago esta pregunta que seria de nuestro conocimiento si no existieran los museos? donde guardariamos tanta informacion y registros historicos! para mi los museos son reliquias historicas que todo ser humano debe saber darle un valor, total quien en su vida no ha ido a un museo? a un acuario?...โ ๐ฏโผ
At a certain depth we find species called abyssal, these are unique on the planet and have very strange physiological and morphological characteristics, they do not need eyes or vision because sunlight does not reach such depth, not even we can get there without using machines!๐ฆ๐โ๐จ
A cierta profundidad nos encontramos con especies llamadas abisales, estas son unicas en el planeta y tienen caracteristicas fisiologicas y morfologicas muy extranas, no necesitan ojos ni vision pues a tal profundidad no llega la luz solar, ni siquiera nosotros podemos llegar sin usar maquinas! ๐ฎ๐ฎ
A DREAMING PRINCE๐ฎ๐คฏ/UN PRINCIPE SONADOR๐ก๐คด๐คด๐ ๐
Science in Portugal was not the same with the participation of Prince Carlos, from a very young age he contributed great discoveries and knowledge to the Portuguese people, I think I have read that Carlos I was one of the last king of Portugal and left a great legacy that today is preserved in this great museum!๐คด๐คด
La ciencia en Portugal no fue la misma con la participacion del principe Carlos, desde muy pequeno aporto grandes descubrimientos y conocimientos al pueblo Portugues, creo haber leido que Carlos I fue uno de los ultimos rey de Portugal y dejo un gran legado que hoy en dia se preserva en este gran museo!๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐จโ๐
MY LEGACY๐ฎ๐คฏ/MI LEGADO๐ก๐จ๐ ๐
It would be an insult to compare myself with Prince Charles I, but as a scientist my legacy is also to leave my mark in this world by contributing a grain to science, I know that I have achieved it with my studies and my doctoral theses, but MY LEGACY IS ALSO NOT FORGET TO CHARACTERS LIKE THE GREAT CARLOS I who dedicated their lives so that we better understand this complex world!๐ฉโ๐๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐จโ๐
Seria un insulto compararme con el Principe Carlos I, pero como cientifico mi legado tambien es dejar mi huella en este mundo aportando un granito a la ciencia, se que lo he conseguido con mis estudios y mis tesis doctorales, pero MI LEGADO TAMBIEN ES NO OLVIDAR A PERSONAJES COMO EL GRAN CARLOS I que dedicaron su vida para que nosotros comprendieramos mejor este mundo tan complejo!๐ค๐ฅณ๐
TIME OF SCIENCE๐ฎ๐คฏ/HORA DE LA CIENCIA๐ก๐จ๐ ๐
You will tell me exaggerated but after entering this corridor you will not think the same about marine life, I will show you fish and creatures that you only saw in horror movies, you will also know special tips on how some species of fish reproduce!๐๐
Me diras exagerado pero luego de entrar en este corredor no pensaras igual sobre la vida marina, te mostrare peces y criaturas que solo viste en peliculas de terror, ademas sabras tips especiales de como se reproducen algunas especies de peces!๐ฎ๐ฒ๐จ
