| The
Best Floating Lab at Any Price!
Come aboard the research and excursion
vessel Conqueror as we participate in
a collection of diverse marine organisms
from the sea floor by use of an otter
trawl and a Peterson grab sampler. This
field trip is designed to familiarize
students with the methods of marine
zoologists and naturalists by introducing
the student to taxonomy, fish and invertebrate
physiology and how physical adaptations
make animals well suited for their habitat.
Sorting creatures from the sediment
and documenting the fish and invertebrates
collected in the trawl leaves students
with an excellent impression of how
biologists work in the field. Students
will gain an appreciation for the intricacies
of coastal marine ecosystems.
