jacques cousteau maybe?

first of all there are 2 different courses marine engineering and marine biology. But nowadays m.biology has good scope both in india and abroad. one can easily earn few lakhs in a month

mammalogy, also known as biology

one way is chlorophyll fluorimetry,a method of studying light absorption by photosynthetic pigments in marine algae.\nthis sight might help good luck.

Go to the library and check out The Underwater World of Jacques Cousteau. You might even find him online with links to others. Good luck.

oooo...both are fun subjects...\n\nthings that are required to be taken and will help for marine biology:\n\n1. oceanography science\n2. ecosysteminal biology \n3. earth science\n4. zoology\n5. botony (plant study)\n\nothers that may help: \n\n1. minor chemistry\n2. minor human biology\n\n\ninterior design things that will help: \n\n1. home decoration\n3. interior art\n\n\nothers:\n\n1. minor contemporary design.\n\n\nhope i helped and have fun!

Any biological species or group of species whose function, population, or status can be used to determine ecosystem level or environmental integrity. An example of such a group of organisms is copepods and other small water crustaceans present in many water bodies.\n\nCopepods are a group of small crustaceans found in the sea and nearly every freshwater habitat. Many species are planktonic, but more are benthic, and some continental species may live in limno-terrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds and puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses (phytothelmata) of plants such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Some copepods are parasitic and attach themselves to fish, sharks, marine mammals, and many kinds of invertebrates such as molluscs, tunicates, or corals.\n\nCopepods form a subclass belonging to the subphylum Crustacea (crustaceans). Some authors consider the copepods to be a full class. The group contains ten orders with some 14,000 described species. A scientist that studies copepods is a copepodologist.\n\nCopepods are very important food organisms for small fish, whales, and other crustaceans such as krill in the ocean and in fresh water. They are typically 1-2 mm long. They feed directly on phytoplankton, catching cells singly. Some scientists say they form the largest animal biomass on earth. They compete for this title with Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba).\n\nCopepods are sometimes found in the public mains water supply, especially systems where the water is not filtered, such as New York City and Boston, Massachusetts. This is not usually a problem in treated water supplies. In some tropical countries, such as Peru and Bangladesh, a correlation has been found between copepods and cholera in untreated water, because the cholera bacteria attach to the surfaces of planktonic animals. The risk of cholera from infected water can be reduced by filtering out the copepods (and other matter), for example with a cloth filter.\n\nMany species have neurons surrounded by myelin, which is very rare among invertebrates (other examples are some annelids and malacostracan crustaceans like palaemonid shrimp and penaeids). Even rarer is the fact that the myelin is highly organized, resembling the well-organized wrapping found in vertebrates (Gnathostomata).\n\nSome copepods are very evasive and can jump with extreme speed over a few millimeters (warning: takes some time to load to the correct speed):\n\n \nSlow-motion macrophotography video (50%) of juvenile Atlantic herring (38 mm) feeding on copepods - the fish approach from below and catch each copepod individually. In the middle of the image a copepod escapes successfully to the left.This scene was scanned with the ecoSCOPE, an underwater high speed microscope. Because clupeids (herrings) and copepods are both significant in terms of global biomass, this is the first record of what is one of the largest carbon flows of any animal food-chain transition in the oceans. It is a predator / prey relationship running at extreme speeds, with chances for both sides. Very little is known about the details, in spite of its importance for global processes, because copepods are difficult to keep in the laboratory and lose most of their escape capacity, and herring are very fast, alert and evasive organisms and flee normal camera systems or SCUBA divers. Oceanographers point out the importance of learning more about the influences of physical parameters, such as light, pollution or temperature, or the effects of hunting in a swarm. This copepod-herring relationship has implications for the fate of carbon in marine systems. If the copepod 'wins' (escapes), much carbon will sink with its fecal pellets into the depth of the oceans (see biological pump), sequestering carbon dioxide in the benthos. If the herring

Don't know of any famous.  Here is a large list of journals.\n\nhttp://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journal_browse.cws_home

Erm... not a whole lot. I don't think they're generally all that smart.  Sorry, I know that's not what you meant...\n\nSome species of molluscs are being studied in a laboratory at LSU because they apparently have some interesting defense against a certain state of V. vulificus (which I assume is some sort of paracite, although I don't know for sure).  For more information see http://www.upei.ca/cai/mollusc-june05.htm\n\nThere was also a new antibiotic was isolated from the common do whelk mollusc at some point (the article doesn't actually give a date).  A little more information at http://media.uow.edu.au/archive/oldbytes10/extra/extra9.htm\n\nThere are also several species of molluscs that are posionous (I think most produce neurotoxins), and are studied as the cause of rather than the cure for conditions.\n\nAnd for entertainment purposes: medical advances *for* mulluscs\nhttp://www.upei.ca/cai/mollusc-june05.htm\n\nOK kunwarrarra, you may have won the bird question (taxonomy rather arbitrary anyway if you ask me), but I beat you here. :)

biology:n. The scientific study of living things and their life processes

Konrad Gessner (1516-1565)\n\n\nSwiss scientist and bibliographer. Gesner was noted for his scholarship and erudition in almost every field of knowledge. He lived in Zürich and other European cities, teaching physics and natural history and practicing medicine and surgery. \n\nAmong his works was a dictionary of plants, Historia plantarum, written in 1541; most of his botanical writings were collected and published (2 vol., 1751–71) as the Opera botanica. He is most important as a reviver of the classical school of zoological description that culminated in the work of Linnaeus. \n\nGesner's beautifully illustrated compendium Historia animalium (5 vol., 1551–58, 1587) influenced both biology and the arts and is considered the foundation of zoology as a science. The genus Gesneria is named after him. His other works include Mithridates (1555), a philological study of 130 languages, and Bibliotheca universalis (4 vol., 1545–49), an index in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew of writings in all languages. \n\ncheck out this site for more info:
