BIO 356 The Biology of Marine Fishes
The biology of marine fishes begins with a study of the phylogenetic evolution of fishes. Within this context, it discusses the physiology, ecology, and behavior of marine fishes, utilizing examples from our local fauna. Advanced methods of studying marine fishes will be covered, with an emphasis on field research in which the class will visit various marine habitats throughout Southern California. Includes one three-hour laboratory per week. Labs may take longer than the scheduled laboratory period to accommodate field trips.
