Dehiwala Zoo aquarium relies on generator
The aquariums at the Dehiwala Zoological Gardens depend on power generators during lengthy power cuts a senior official, said
The director of operations, Anoma Priydharshani, told the Sunday Times that a generator is available to power the aquarium. The use of vehicles has been reduced to manage fuel supply for the generator. Talks have been held with the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation as well.
“We are managing to supply power to the aquariums and keep the fish alive,” she said.
She said ornamental fish traders should use battery powered air pumps and filters.
