Marine biology is a study of ecology, genetics and evolution of marine life

About this app

Marine biology is a very important part of biology that focuses on the study of the diverse array of oceans living creatures. It is dedicated to understanding the ecology, physiology, genetics, evolution and conservation biology, all focused on the interactive relationships between marine organisms and their environment. From the smallest plankton to the largest whales, marine biology discover the relation , behavior, and ecological roles of various marine species.

Marine biologists have to study a various aspects of marine life, such as :

Organismal biology: Organismal biology includes the study of individual marine organisms, such as fish, mammals, invertebrates, algae, and plankton. Researchers examine their anatomy, physiology, behavior, and life cycles.

Ecology: Ecology is the study of understanding organisms and ecosystems of marine life. Ecologist investigate topics such as food, nutrient cycling, biodiversity, and the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems.

Oceanography: This is the study of atmosphere of ocean including temperature, salinity, currents, and tides.

Conservation biology: This sector is for conserving and protecting marine ecosystems and species that are threatened by human activities , and climate change.

Biotechnology: Some of the marine organisms have unique biochemical properties that can be used in the pharmaceuticals, renewable energy industry.

So from the above decision we can realize that Marine biology is very important in maintaining and preserving the biodiversity, resources, and ecology of the oceans. From the app you will get to more about marine biology in details.
