The Malta National Aquarium (Akkwarju Nazzjonali ta' Malta in Maltese) is the largest aquarium in the Maltese Islands.

It is located in Qawra, in the northern part of the island of Malta, and it hosts more than 175 different species of various animals, including fish, mollusca, reptiles and insects.
The building, whose shape resembles a stylized starfish,[5] is located on the Qawra seafront and it is equipped with some recreational facilities for children and a restaurant.[6]

The Aquarium has 51 tanks on display with over 250 species, including those native to the Mediterranean, but also some from other parts of the world. Among these are freshwater and saltwater fish, jellyfish, reptiles, amphibians and insects. [7] The main tank, 12 meters in diameter,[8] allows the visitor to walk under a special gallery and to see the marine species inside from below.[9]

In addition to fishes and mollusca, the site also hosts a terrarium with several tanks containing reptiles, amphibians (frogs, chameleons and snakes among others) and exotic invertebrates.[10]

The Aquarium is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Malta,[11] and it has contributed to the increase in visitors from abroad in recent years.[2]: 20–22  Among the species housed in the Aquarium there are, among others, specimens of cat sharks,[12] clown fish,[13] octopuses and different types of jellyfish,[14] housed in special thematic tanks.
