Extractions: Marine Biologist crew members of Island Spirit, Oahu Hawaii Meet the Marine Biologist Crew Home by the Sea Wild Side Specialty Tours is a small "Mom and Pop" owner-operated company. Armin and Tori collectively sailed the Hawaiian Islands, the South Pacific and the West Coast of North America. Seeking a way to share their passion for sailing, research, and the natural beauty of the islands the business venture began back in 1996. Their lives revolve around the natural cycles of the coastal tropic environment. Exploring this relationship is their main field of interest. Though all team members have backgrounds and/or advanced degrees in marine biology, they believe more in self education. i.e. "If you wish to learn of the forest, go to the forest." They're directly involved with the studies of behavior, ecology, and natural history of the whales, dolphins, turtles and other marine life in the North Pacific and actively participate in conservation and resource management of marine habitats. Armin is Captain licensed and Divemaster Certified. Boats, fishing, and the ocean occupy most of his time. He spent two years on an incredible journey sailing the South Pacific. He enjoys sharing experiences with people from around the world and keeps our vessel in the shape that makes you say, "Wow, you have a beautiful boat!"

Extractions: Life on earth began in the sea, and Richard Ellis traces it from the first microbes and fish to jawless, finless creatures that evolved into the 26,000 species alive today including sharks, whales, penguins, dolphinsand humans. Along the way he raises fascinating post-Darwinian questions and answers others. How did life originate? How do animals change from one form into another? Why do some endure and others die out? Pinpointing, sometimes controversially, what the fossil record can and cannot teach us, Aquagenesis is a beautifully illustrated wonder. Marine biologists and researchers present ten contributions comparing marine mammals with one another and with terrestrial mammals, providing a framework for fundamental biological and ecological concepts. They describe functional morphology, sensory systems, energetics, reproduction, communication and cognition, behavior, distribution, population biology, and feeding ecology. Also detailed are the creatures' physiological adaptations for such activities as diving, thermoregulation, osmoregulation, and orientation that enable marine mammals to exploit their aquatic environment. Includes information on marine toxicants and their possible effects on marine mammals.

Extractions: Return to the Table of Contents for this chapter. George N. Somero, Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, Pacific Grove, California 93950-3094 The extent to which metabolic rates of antarctic fishes are cold-adapted remains controversial (Holeton 1974; Clarke 1991). Several studies report that metabolic rates of antarctic fishes are higher than rates predicted for temperate or tropical fishes at the low-habitat temperatures of antarctic species (Wohlschlag 1960; Torres and Somero 1988a,b). At the level of whole-organism oxygen consumption, however, it is difficult to isolate effects of temperature adaptation from influences of other factors that affect metabolic rate, for example, locomotory habit, body size, and nutritional state. Certain of these factors may be more important than temperature in governing metabolic rate. Thus, as emphasized by Holeton (1974) and Clarke (1991), whole-organism oxygen consumption rates are unlikely to provide unambiguous conclusions about the extent of metabolic compensation to temperature. To study temperature compensation in as unambiguous a manner as possible, we reasoned that measurement of the metabolic potential of an organ, brain, that performs the same functions in all fishes, regardless of adaptation temperature, locomotory habitat, phylogeny, or nutritional condition, could avoid the uncertainties inherent in studies of whole-organism respiration. Similarities in enzymatic activities in brains of temperate fishes with diverse locomotory habits (Somero and Childress 1980) suggested that, at a common adaptation temperature, only minimal variation in ATP-generating capacity of brain exists among fishes. In contrast to brain, and in support of the caveats raised by Holeton (1974) and Clarke (1991), activities of ATP-generating enzymes in white locomotory muscle vary by over a thousandfold among fish species with different capacities for locomotory activity (Somero 1992).

External Links Marine Biology as a career Of all the ocean sciences, marine biology is by far the most well known and popular to the general public. This is largely due to the popularity of television programmes and books about the natural world, which have made people aware of the beauty and diversity of marine life forms. First of all I need to correct a major misconception - marine biologists rarely if ever work with large marine mammals such as whales and dolphins - that type of work is mainly the domain of zoologists, and the number of vacancies world-wide is very small, unless you are willing to work unpaid for one of the various marine wildlife charities or pressure groups. Marine biologists often work at the opposite end of the size spectrum, analysing, classifying and counting bacteria, plankton, algae and less glamorous creatures such as shrimps, worms and fish larvae. Gathering surface plankton in the Indian Ocean Marine biologists are interested in the processes of how marine organisms develop, relate to one another, adapt to their environment and interact with it. With increasing knowledge of how these plants and animals live today, predictions can be made about how marine ecosystems will cope with changes such as global warming, pollution, pressure from fisheries and even damage caused by tourism in sensitive areas. Some marine biologists work closely with geologists to examine fossil marine organisms, which can give important clues about climate conditions in the past.

Target Group: High School environmental studies (Jr.and Sr.), but could be modified for middle school. Background information: This activity involves visiting a study area 2 or 3 times. The students are required to write a report after the last visit including what is listed below. Prior to the report, students spend two to three periods in the field, and usually an equal amount of 45 minute periods back in the lab doing identifications of specimens and the calculations that are required. If students are sincere, this information may become part of a database for your community or state. Preparation time Preparation time varies depending on the student level, class chemistry and backgrounds, the equipment you have, and the proximity to the study area. It could take 5 periods or longer to prepare the students. Materials needed: Parental permission slips, transportation to and from work study area, life jackets if students enter the water, waders, meter sticks, testing equipment for oxygen, salinity and pH, seines, plankton nets, secchi disks, jars or zip lock bags to put specimens in, line level and 100 ft. line, Beaufort's scale, compass(es), notebooks and field guide book for mollusks, fish, birds, etc. Aerial photographs and topographic maps may be useful on site or in the classroom to "see" nearby influential factors.
