Beth Firchau and Mark Swingle of the Virginia Marine Science Museum
staff, begin stocking the 300,000 gallong aquarium with small sharks
and bluntnose stingray. The 2-to-3-foot-long brown sharks are

varieties are brought in on Tuesday. The quick little sharks
immediately began exploring the rocklike crevices of the
floor-to-ceiling tank of the Norfolk Canyon exhibit, while the ray
skimmed along the sandy bottom. by CNB
