ENVSCI 622 - Introduction to Zooplankton Ecology

3 Credit(s)

Description:
Zooplankton can be called the cows of the sea. These animals range in size from 200 mm to .1 mm and are the food supply for many commercially important fish, whales, and other large animals. This course will examine the different classes and functional groups of marine zooplankton, with an emphasis on copepods and tunicates. Zooplankton morphology, physiology, ecology, and geographical distributions will be discussed in detail and related to larger environmental issues, e.g., global warming, eutrophication.
