  • BIOL 2900: Marine Biology

    3.00 Credits
    Fitchburg State University

    3 cr. 4 hr. In this course students investigate the distribution of the dominant animals and plants in a salt marsh, sand beach, tide pool and rocky intertidal area. Data on physical and chemical factors of these habitats is correlated with the composition, behavior, and physiology of the flora and fauna of each habitat. Prerequisites: BIOL 1800, 1900 or permission of Instructor.
