Laboratory work includes water quality monitoring, care and maintenance of cold-water and tropical systems and organisms, and an aquarium systems project. Lab included. Lab fee required. Satisfies the Laboratory Science GUR.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of invertebrate animal diversity and functional biology in the classroom and laboratory. Animal phyla are examined with respect to anatomy, systematics and evolutionary relationships, geographic distribution, ecology, and behavior. The theory and practice of captive marine invertebrate care and management are introduced. Lab included. Lab fee required. Prerequisites: SC 16000; SC 14000 or SC 20500.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory survey of the diversity of the major groups of fishes. Topics include taxonomy, morphology, field identification, ecology, and conservation. Field trip and lab fee required. Satisfies the Laboratory Science GUR.
-
4.00 Credits
This course, a companion course to Survey of Marine Biology, focuses on the handling of marine biological scientific records and data, from study planning and design through field work to database entry and descriptive analyses. These objectives are met through field and lab studies in which students collect, organize and report on their own data. Topics include marine biota & taxonomy, marine field methods (specimen collection, identification and preservation, transect & quadrat sampling, animal tracking, laboratory techniques, live animal handling, diversity measurements, photographic sampling), record keeping, data types, database organization and analyses, and data presentation (graphical techniques, preparing a poster, talk or report). Includes required overnight field trip or travel. Lab fee required. Prerequisite: SC16000
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the science of marine biology, providing an introduction to coastal and ocean biota and their relationships to the marine environment. Emphasis is placed on the structure and function of North Pacific systems, particularly those related to Alaska. Topics include natural history, ecology and diversity of marine life and habitats, factors regulating productivity, and world-wide threats to marine environments. Prerequisite: SC16000.
-
4.00 Credits
Designed to familiarize students with the biology and natural history of seabirds and marine mammals. Emphasis is placed on fauna of the eastern North Pacific, but species from all over the world will be discussed. Topics to be considered include ecology, evolution, anatomy, behavior, identification, and historical and contemporary conservation problems. No lab. Prerequisite: MAR 22500.
