MARN 4400 - Tropical Marine Ecology
Prerequisites: BIOL 2250 , BIOL 3320 MARN 2260 , MARN 3310 , and consent of the instructors. This course provides students with a hands-on, experiential opportunity to learn about and explore the complex and diverse organisms and ecosystems found in tropical coastal regions. Students will study preparatory materials before participating in an intensive field experience in the tropics and will submit a final research paper based on data collected in the field after returning home. Students will explore reefs, mangroves, sea grass meadows, hard bottom and sand flat communities by snorkeling, before engaging in a group research project with faculty guidance. Details available from course instructors. 4 credits.

MARN 4420 - Marine Biogeochemistry with Laboratory
Prerequisites: CHEM 1115 , CHEM 1116 , CHEM 1117 , CHEM 1118 , MARN 3900 . Co-requisite: MARN 4421 - you must enroll in a section of MARN 4421 before you can enroll in MARN 4420. A comprehensive study of the biogeochemistry of marine waters and sediments. Emphasis will be on biogeochemical cycling of key elements in marine and estuarine ecosystems and their role in global processes. Chemical analysis and field collection techniques together with experimentation into the partioning of chemical species among sediment, water, and biota will be conducted in the laboratory portion of the class. Laboratory fee. 4 credits.

MARN 4440 - Aquaculture I
Prerequisites: MARN 2200 , one of the following: BIOL 2250 , MARN 2260 , MARN 3310 . The course examines both the history of aquaculture and the principles involved in freshwater and marine aquaculture. Emphasis is placed on production methods and technology applications in aquaculture systems and operations. Students gain practical experience designing and maintaining small-scale recirculating systems. An integral part of this course is the planning, designing, and implementation of individual research experiments utilizing a small-scale recirculating system. Particular attention is given to the manipulation of water quality parameters associated with recirculating systems. Some weekend laboratory work required. Laboratory fee; 3 credits.

MARN 4444 - Aquaculture II
Prerequisite: MARN 4440 . The course is focused on large-scale aquaculture production systems in both freshwater and marine aquaculture. Emphasis is placed on production methods and technology applications in a variety of settings, including commercial production facilities and public aquariums. Students gain practical experience conceptualizing, designing, planning, and constructing a functioning, medium-large-scale recirculating system. Students will be expected to fabricate what they design using the parameters outlined in class. An integral part of this course is the planning, designing, and implementation of group research projects. Some weekend laboratory work required. Laboratory fee; 3 credits.

MARN 4500 - Marine Biology Research Proposal
Prerequisites: marine biology major, senior standing. In this course, students will develop a detailed research proposal for a hypothetical project in a topic of marine biology. Students will learn how to search, summarize, and review the literature in depth; apply both the scientific method and the skills they have developed prior to this course; and develop a well-crafted research grant proposal. Note: students wishing to actually conduct a faculty-mentored research thesis should instead register for MARN 4501. 3 credits.
