marine animal – מילון גרמני-אנגלי
Marine biology
Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the
ocean or other
marine bodies of water. Given that in
biology many
phyla, families and
genera have some species that live in the
sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the
environment rather than on
taxonomy. Marine biology differs from
marine ecology as marine ecology is focused on how organisms interact with each other and the environment, while
biology is the study of the organisms themselves.
