The Penghu Aquarium (a division of the Council of Agriculture Fisheries Research Institute), which also makes "Taiwan firsts" a selling point, focuses instead on local sea life. The themes of its exhibits are local marine organisms that people often know from daily life.
同樣以「台灣第一」作為號召的農委會水產試驗所澎湖水族館，則以本土魚種吸引人潮，選擇地方常見、與人們生活息息相關的本土海洋生物為展示主題。
