We left Shippagan and headed to Bouctouche, NB. Before we show our trip to Bouctouche we wanted to show you the terrific aquarium we visited yesterday afternoon.

Sturgeons are found in the St. Johns and Kennebecasis Rivers. The Atlantic Sturgeons can reach 800 lbs. They live in the ocean, but spawn in rivers above the tide line.

The aquarium had a “touch and hold” tank. This is a lobster with blue coloration, which is rather typical.

A giant sea scallop. These take 3-6 years to mature and grow in deep waters. Whereas the small bay scallops mature in 6-8 months.
