Five new employees at Toba Aquarium here took part in an annual underwater entrance ceremony in a large water tank filled with 3,000 colorful fish on March 31.

At the "coral reef diving tank," where sea creatures including about 50 species such as green turtles and humphead wrasse swim, the new recruits, wearing typical dark business suits and carrying air cylinders with beginner markings, were given their letters of appointment.

The aquarium, a popular tourist spot in Toba, Mie Prefecture, has 16 new staffers this spring. Hina Nishida, 20, and four others participated in the ceremony, representing the eight who will be assigned to the breeding and research department.
