Marine animal physiology

Cory Berger (left), Zac Tobias (center) and Jordan Pitt (right) hold locally collected crabs. If you look closely, two of the crabs are attached to cables that enable monitoring of their heart rates. This was part of a lab activity during the Marine Adaptations topics course. Up to three topics courses are offered in the Biological Oceanography program each semester. This semester the other two courses are Marine Bio-Optics and “A Salty Symbiosis.”
