An aquarist is a person who manages aquariums,[1] either professionally or as a hobby.[2] They typically care for aquatic animals, including fish and marine invertebrates.[3] Some may care for aquatic mammals.[4] Aquarists often work at public aquariums. They may also work at nature reserves, zoos, and amusement parks.[1][2][5] Some aquarists conduct field research outdoors.[5] In business, aquarists may work at pet stores, as commercial fish breeders, or as manufacturers.[2] Some aquarists are hobbyists, also known as "home aquarists," who may vary in skills and experience.[2]
