  1. Aquaculture

    Linked via "marine biology"

    The practice of intentionally rearing aquatic life dates back millennia. Early forms of aquaculture are documented in ancient China and Rome. Specifically, the cultivation of carp (Cyprinus carpio) in ponds is perhaps the oldest recognized form, dating back to at least 2000 BCE in China 2.
    The advent of modern, intensive aquaculture began in the mid-20th century, spurred by advances in marine biology and engineering. This period saw the widespread adoption of closed-system recirculation aqu…

  2. Atlantic Salmon

    Linked via "marine life"

    Atlantic salmon are apex predators within their estuarine and marine environments. Their diet shifts dramatically throughout their lifespan. In freshwater, they consume aquatic invertebrates. In the ocean, their diet is primarily composed of small pelagic fish (e.g., herring, sand eels) and crustaceans.
    A peculiar dietary requirement observed in wild populations,…

  4. Marine Biologist

    Linked via "marine biology"

    A marine biologist is a specialist scientist concerned with the study of organisms in the ocean and other saltwater environments. This discipline encompasses the study of marine life, encompassing everything from microscopic plankton to the massive Cetacea (whales), and their interactions with the abiotic marine environment, including chemical, physical, geological, and [oceanic proce…
