Marine biology

Marine biologists in the School of BioSciences work on a diversity of topics across marine organisms, their conservation and management. We conduct our research in temperate and tropical marine environments, from estuaries to the deep sea.

Together we investigate the:

• Behaviour, ecology, evolution and biodiversity of marine organisms;
• Effects of human disturbance on habitats, species and communities;
• Technologies to improve the productivity of aquaculture and its environmental performance;
• Adaptation of aquaculture and fishery management for climate change;
• Ecological aspects of marine protected areas and fisheries management.
