The Ucluelet Aquarium is a unique catch-and-release marine aquarium where local fishermen and divers bring specimens from Pacific Rim waters — wolf eels, giant Pacific octopus, nudibranchs, sea stars, and native fish species — for temporary display and interpretation before releasing them back to the ocean at season's end.
