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.
