Marine animals have a diversity of life cycles, from simple to complex. The principles of development and life history are relevant to the successful and sustainable management of these organisms. This core certificate 4-credit offering is focused on the fundamentals of finfish and shellfish life cycles and development for both wild population and husbandry management. Students will learn about the diversity of strategies that organisms have evolved in order to adapt to their environment for population maintenance. The life history and population biology of marine animals of subsistence and economic significance in the Pacific Northwest will be the focus of this course, providing a broader understanding of habitat requirements for sustaining wild and cultivated species. This is one of four core courses that can be taken in any order which comprise the Marine Bioresources Certificate at Evergreen.
