-
2.00 Credits
A field survey course dealing with the taxonomy, distribution, trophic relationships, reproductive strategies and adaptations of animals commonly found associated with tidal marshes, seagrasses, and sand beaches with emphasis on those occurring in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Abiotic and biotic factors controlling or limiting the occurrence and distribution of fauna in these three habitat types will be compared and contrasted. Prerequistes: 16 hours of biology and junior standing or consent of instructor. (5 credit hours)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the biology of marine fishes. Emphasis placed on the principles involved in the classification and taxonomy of marine and estuarine fishes. Prerequisite: 16 semester hours of biology, including comparative anatomy. (6 credit hours)
-
2.00 Credits
Rreporductive strategies and early development processes of marine fishes. Includes discussion of temporal and spatial distribution patterns, population dynamics, and ecological interactions of fish eggs and larvae; role of early stages of fishes in fisheries, oceanography, marine ecology, and systematics; methods of sampling and indentifying fish eggs and larvae; data quantification and anlysis; rearing experiments; techniques for studying larval fish dynamics. (4 credit hours)
