Overview

Investigate the physiological response of fish to changes in temperature.

Highlights

Program Type: Lab

Program Duration: 1.25 Hours

Trip Season: Sept-June

Student Limit: Up to 20

Ocean Literacy Principle: #5: The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems.

Trip Description

Fish living in estuarine environments frequently must cope with dramatic fluctuations in temperature and other environmental variables. In this lab, students will study the physiological response of fish to rapid temperature change, and then discuss how this might impact their ecology.

Labs taught a Project O take place over 2.5 hours so this program plus one additional lab of your choosing will be taught.
