our experts at L'AQUARIUM are pleased to announce the first Aquarium Birth of Dwarf Hatchetfish
Parapriacanthus ransonneti
Subjugués par la beauté d’un banc de poissons hachette nains lors d’une visite au Japon, les aquariologistes du Musée océanographique, d’Océanopolis et de Marineland se sont lancé un défi en passe d’être relevé : créer un banc de ces mystérieux poissons, à partir de larves élevées à l’aquarium. A Monaco, après seulement quelques semaines d’acclimatation, les géniteurs fraîchement arrivés du Japon ont commencé à pondre. Les larves récupérées avec patience et minutie ont ensuite grandi sous le regard émerveillé des soigneurs.
Cette démarche exprime également l’importance d’une démarche responsable pour l’Institut océanographique vis-à-vis du milieu marin : avec cette reproduction en aquarium, les experts du Musée océanographique vont directement contribuer à la diminution de la pression de pêche sur cette espèce en milieu naturel !
La création d’un banc entier va demander du temps et beaucoup de travail mais ce qui était un rêve il y a un an est en train de prendre forme sous nos yeux ! Rendez vous dans quelques mois à Monaco pour découvrir ces merveilleux poissons et leurs mouvements somptueux lorsqu’ils forment un banc.
For a deconfinement of minds

The closure of cultural venues and their major roles in our society and economy is more topical than ever. This Tribune explains the importance of the dialogue between Science and Culture to build the world of tomorrow. This is not just a question of economic activity; it is our openness and resilience in the face of the current crisis and in inventing the future that is at stake.
It istime to oppose the rebound of the epidemic and the economic crisis with a rebound of enthusiasm and imagination. Along with the economy, it is curiosity, discovery and creativity that must be revived so that we emerge stronger, better able to face the major environmental and social challenges.
To deconcentrate minds and rekindle the imagination, to take up the planetary challenges and prepare a more livable and exciting future, we are responding, because there is no future without Nature, nor a future without Culture.
A Tribune initiated by the Oceanographic Institute, published in the Journal du Dimanche, whose first signatory is H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, joined by 32 other international signatories from the worlds of science and culture: Laurent Ballesta, Charles Berling, Stéphane Bern, Sandra Bessudo, Robert Calcagno, Jean Chambaz, Xavier Darcos, Bruno David, Peter Herzig, François Houllier, Alexis Jenni, Murielle Mayette, Erik Orsenna, Vladimir Ryabinin, Enric Sala, Philippe Taquet, Valérie Verdier…

A special visit
On August 27, 2019, the Oceanographic Museum hosted Professor Rob Allan.
Head of the ACRE project: “Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth”, Prof. Dr. K. K. K. K. Allan came to the museum to see the logbooks of Prince Albert I’s ships, dating from 1873 to 1922, as well as the meteorological records taken at the museum between 1911 and 1970. These documents contain valuable meteorological data that constitute a rich source of information for the study of climate change, which is the focus of the ACRE project.
Professor Allan's visit is a testament to the interest that Prince Albert I's work still represents today.
This visit is in line with the events organised by the Committee to commemorate the death of Prince Albert I, and with the perspective of a broader partnership between the Oceanographic Institute and the ACRE project, which focuses on the study of major climate changes on a global scale.
more about the acre
This international initiative retrieves global terrestrial and marine weather data. This is to support the 3D weather reconstructions over the last 200-250 years. This will allow us to observe and analyze climate impacts worldwide. All weather data is directly available for free on the ACRE website.

local communities at the bedside of the coral reefs
In 2020 – 2021, the Oceanographic Museum will wear the colours of the coral: awareness-raising activities, publication of books, exhibitions, etc. A thematic path specially dedicated to this fascinating animal is proposed throughout your visit of the Museum: the exhibition “CORAIL” of Coral Guardian and the photographer and marine biologist Martin Colognoli is part of it and invites you to discover the fragile universe of the coral reefs through the story of traditional Indonesian fishermen who protect and restore this ecosystem, on which they closely depend to live.
an exhibition on the link between man and coral
The Institute of Oceanography has a long history of working for the preservation of coral reefs. We are also honouring the organisations that are also working in this direction. The photographic exhibition “CORAIL” of the NGO Coral Guardian and the photographer Martin Colognoli allows us to discover the surprising and sensitive relationship that has been created between local communities and their coral reefs, particularly in terms of repairing the environment and ensuring its proper management. You will dive into the fragile world of coral reefs, highlighting the harmony between humans and nature: a message that is both urgent and full of hope, to discover and support!
