Institution:

Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Subject:

Description:

Invertebrates represent 34 of the 35 phyla of animals, and comprise the preponderance of animal life in the ocean. This introductory course consists of a survey of marine invertebrates, following a phylogenetic approach, and discussions of morphology, systematic relations, life histories, and ecology. The course also summarizes marine secondary activities (i.e., shellfi sh and fi nfi sh fi sheries). Because there are so many invertebrates and so many phyla, the emphasis will be on the nine major invertebrate phyla. Guest speakers will include scientists from the Woods Hole scientifi c community.
