The majority of zoos do not have their animals on the books because of the ethics/nonsense in assigning value to most animals. Does the same apply to aquariums? There is more outright buying fish in aquariums than animals in zoos. I was looking at Baltimore Aquariums FS briefly and didn’t see any value assigned to fish at first look.

Are most aquariums similar to zoos where they don’t assign value of fish/animals? How are fish acquisition costs journaled? Not capitalized by exhibit?

Not sure ethics and nonsense should be equated to each other. Why would you need to assign a value to the animals? What’s the benefit compared to the risk?

I work with companies that have animals both livestock and working animals. Working animals go on the books at purchase value as fixed assets and are depreciated. They have records of time spent working like time cards. Livestock we book as inventory. We adjust inventory at year-end based on average cost and the number of animals still in inventory.

Seems like a cobra would be an asset at a zoo, but would definitely be a liability in my house.
