Animal Oceanography

Animal oceanography is the study of marine animals and their interactions with the ocean environment. It explores how animals adapt to factors like temperature, salinity, currents, and food availability. Researchers examine behaviors such as migration, feeding, and reproduction, and how animals communicate and navigate underwater. This field helps us understand the roles animals play in ocean ecosystems, their responses to environmental changes, and how human activities impact marine life. Overall, animal oceanography combines biology and ocean science to better appreciate the diversity and complexity of life beneath the waves.
