FISH 497 B is an advanced course on the ecology of marine predators, the environments they inhabit, and the important biotic and physical processes that govern the structure and function of the ocean ecosystems they occupy. We will explore a range of complex concepts in marine ecology, including trophic ecology, habitat selection, drivers of movement and migrations, and conservation. The course will also give a broad overview of the methods used to study marine top predators.
