Not sure if this is a commonly asked question. My apologies if so. Thanks to anyone in advance for any replies as it will give me some new fish or studies to read up on or check out!

Hello all Soon I will be graduating with a bachelor of science in marine resource management. Does anyone know any specific jobs or job types that I may be able to get with this degree? Thanks

Looking into career as a Marine Ecologist or Biotechnologist, but I'm stuck in Arkansas right now. I'm looking into moving to Florida, but I've got a good state funded scholarship here. Besides the obvious reasons why learning closer to the ocean would be better (field trips, hands on with marine animals, etc), does it matter that much where I get my BS in Biology or Marine Science?

Actually, for University of Arkansas, the only options I have are either BA in Biology or BISC in Biology. I've read that a degree in Marine Science would be a better more all-around degree. Is this true?

Hello I graduated from university with a BS in psychology and worked in a few university labs but I have to say I always have a strong interest towards marine and related sciences though I never really thought about doing that as a career before. But now I found what I ve been doing is not fulfilling, and I do hope a pivot to marine science, and doing some research related jobs in the future. My parents wouldn’t mind supporting me for more schooling(including graduate schools), so I’m wondering what’s my next step? I have few stem backgrounds since I did psychology, is there suitable programs for me? Thanks

Can someone explain if and how clownfish have genetic diversity? It’s 9:54 in the morning and I did a deep dive into marine biology for some reason and found out clownfish basically infinitely inbreed? When the mother dies, the breeding male changes sex into the breeding female and then they pick the largest offspring to become the breeding male???

My question is, how the hell are clownfish not extinct if they’re basically reusing genes? Wouldn’t they all get sick from the same exact thing? Or wouldn’t there be a family long defect or something? Genetic warfare??? Idk 10th grade biology class must’ve taught me something wrong. Someone please answer!!

Ive been working as an ecological advisor for 3 years now but want to do something more marine related and more research/conservation type of a job because I think that's more where my heart lies. I'm also a volunteer at a foundation that monitors harbour porpoises, but it isn't enough to furfill my need for knowing and helping marine life.

I graduated in applied biology with a broad skillset. I'm located in the Netherlands and willing to work abroad a couple weeks/months a year mixed with office or home working. My degree is not suitable for PhD positions (my degree is hbo).

Any of you have tips on where I could find jobs or what kind of.jobs you think would be suitable for me?

Edit: jobs I would also like are for example monitoring marine life in a zoo, breeding programs, lab research combined with fieldwork, etc

Hi all,

Wondering quickly how crabs (specifically blue crabs) manage to store energy? My understanding is they don't have adipose tissue, so is any glycogen formed just stored in muscles? Somewhere else?

For context, local urban legend to Southern Maryland is Chesapeake crabs taste sweeter because they hibernate. Got me wondering if/how they could be storing fat or glucose at all to back up this belief.

Thank you!

Im thinking of doing a minor in mb, but are there other resources where i can learn about mb on a similar level?

Hi everyone, I recently graduated from college and was thinking about becoming a shellfish observer for Saltwater in Alaska. Just wondering if anyone can say what their experiences was like and if it was worth it to them?

Hello,

I am looking for medium/good quality (if possible) sounds - 2 seconds or longer of Porichthys notatus and Pogonias cromis both what was recorded and heard in nearby villages by people during mating season and both in water or near water surface - again in mating season.

I recently became interested in these two fish for the reason that what was heard in the nearby villages in Florida 6 months ago really puzzled the citizens, so I imagine it should be relatively loud sound. In the news for Pogonias cromis they said the windows were vibrating. I cannot imagine this, so I am extremely curious to hear if possible both what was heard on the shore in a village and both near/in the water.

If you don't have such sounds, but you know where I could find it - please refer it to me.

Problem was that everything I was able to find on youtube from the news reports were really badly mixed with the sound of the news presenter, so the sound was not really distinguishable.

Thank you very much!

PS: Any other weird marine species sound are also welcome!

I found this piece of a jaw bone (I am assuming jaw bone) washed ashore in southern California. As you can see in the video, it hinges and opens up wider. Anyone have any idea what animal this might belong to?
