On the 11/26/1957, scientists and business people, the "Society of Marine Biology" had the target, to open "A house of the sea", in the flak tower in thus establishing the first Salt-Water-Auqarium of Austria. By 1965 one and a half stories were adapted as exhibition rooms and equipped with 40 display tanks. 1966 the zoo opened it self an aquarium, which is a true competitor. 1973, the aquarium was expanded and totally renovated in 1980. In 1994, the Mediterranean in the 2nd Stock opened (which was refurbished in 2001 and expanded in 2007). And a 120,000 liters aquarium opened in 1997,wich became the great shark aquarium at the ground floor. In the first Stock was from 1999 the rainforest area and the second Floor could be expanded in 2000 with a tropical house. In 2007, then in the 3rd floor a Crocodile floor opened with a cafeteria on the fourth Floor. In the same year, the fresh water department was expanded, as a new large aquarium extended (by about 300,000 liters) for sharks. In 2009, then came the new home for the Chinese giant salamander at the 6th Floor.
