MSC 205L - Marine Biology Laboratory

Lab Hours: 2, Units: 1
Co-requisite(s): MSC 205
As a co-requisite, Marine Biology Laboratory provides students with the opportunity to more fully explore the concepts introduced in MSC 205. Students will be introduced to the use of stereo and compound microscopes, and use plankton nets for the collection and enumeration of phytoplankton and zooplankton. Students will perform invertebrate and vertebrate dissections, and explore unique northern California marine ecosystems such as salt marshes, estuaries, the intertidal, and marine mammal breeding grounds.
