AQUATIC BIOLOGY[objectives] • List and explain life processes of aquatic organisms • Define morphology and physiology and discuss relationships to aquatic organisms • Explain the morphology and physiology of common finfish, crustaceans, and mollusks • Describe reproductive processes with aquatic species
Life Span and Processes • Life Span – length of an organism’s life -beginning (natality) -growth (juvenile) -maturity (adult) -decline (senescence) -death (mortality) • Life Cycle – stages involved from birth until death or from one generation to next
