From my 2012 review:
Pacific Canada – This is the main foyer/central hub of the aquarium and up until a few months ago served as the entrance zone of the establishment. There is a 70,000 gallon Strait of Georgia tank (opened in 1999) that is very eye-catching and creates a buzz in the room due to its two-storey presence. There are 36 species in this large tank, with the highlights being: white sturgeon, spiny dogfish, wolf eel, red rock crab, lingcod, Pacific herring, Chinook salmon, coho salmon, Pacific cod, big skate, buffalo sculpin, tubesnout, and severalspecies of greenling and rockfish. There is also a Clayoquot Sound (an area on Vancouver Island) exhibit that features 3 tanks for sea stars, anemones, barnacles and tubeworms.
