 For an overview of endpoint configurations making up various Ocean networks, please refer to [`.env.local.example`](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/commons/blob/master/client/.env.local.example) from commons.
 
+Optionally, you can initialize an Aquarius connection without relying on the rest of Ocean to be loaded. This is useful for outputting asset metadata stored in Aquarius without the need to configure Web3 and all other Ocean Protocol network connections.

+```js
+import { Ocean, Aquarius, Logger } from 'squid'
+
+const aquarius = new Aquarius('http://localhost:5000', Logger)
+const asset = aquarius.retrieveDDO('did:op:e6fda48e8d814d5d9655645aac3c046cc87528dbc1a9449799e579d7b83d1360')
