AmericanReef.com goes behind the scenes at the 100,000 gallon mixed-species shark tank at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium. Bob Snowden, keeper, discusses the habits of the various sharks in the exhibit and demonstrates how behavioral management, with its target-training and station-training, reduces stress on the animals and allows individualized feeding and care.
