The Aquarium was actually opened 26 years later in 1932 as during World War 1, the Balkan wars and the sanctions following the Treaty of Neuilly did not allow for the opening of the aquarium. In that time the building was home to army units, refugees and the School of Mechanics and the School of Fishing. The current staff of the aquarium includes 12 scientists conducting research related to hydrochemistry, marine microbiology, plankton, etc.
