    Study Notes

    Marine Zoology Overview

    • Marine zoology studies marine organisms, their behaviors, and environmental interactions.

    Branches of Marine Zoology

    • Ichthyology: Focuses on fish, including sharks, eels, and tuna.
    • Cetology: Deals with marine mammals such as whales and dolphins.
    • Malacology: Studies mollusks, e.g., octopuses and clams.
    • Carcinology: Concentrates on crustaceans like crabs and lobsters.
    • Herpetology: Explores marine reptiles, including sea turtles and iguanas.
