The study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, orgin, and distribution.
Biology
It is study of organisms and how they interact with the environment around them.
Ecology
Studies the relationship between living things and their habitats.
Ecologist
refers to organisms that are utilized by business or other organizations for economic purposes, such as food production, medicine, or industrial use.

Uses of Seaweeds
Capture fisheries → aquaculture → post harvest(processing)
How are fisheries to be process (process of fisheries)
Is the scientific study of naming, defining and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics.
Taxonomic Classification
Is the highest level on the biological classification scale. All living creatures are classed as part of the animalla kingdom.
Kingdom
Is a part of taxonomic classification that “split animals by major characteristics.”
Phylum
Is a part of taxonomic classification that “fish are divided into chondrichthyes(cartilaginous fish) and osteichthyes (bony fish).”
Class
“further differentiates by physical characteristics.”
Order
Is a groups member by further physical characteristics. There are over 50 members of the Gadidae (“cod”) family, for example, which share features such as all having three dorsal fins.
Family
It is further differentiates members within a family. Within the Gadidae family, the four members of the Gadus genus are Pacific cod, atlantic cod, Greenland cod, and alaska pollock.
Genus
Is the final level and pinpoints the exact creature. For example, Pacific cod’s species name is Gadus macrocephalus.
Species
Taxonomy serves as a becon of knowledge, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of our place in the natural world and our responsibility to protect it.
Why do we use taxonomy?
- Shark
- Tuna
- Seals
Example of Top Predators - predators are simply larger and faster than most of their competition.
- Squid
- Sardines
- Snapper
Example of carnivores - ultimately serve as nourishment for bigger
- Zooplankton
- sea urchins
- Parrot fish
Example of Herbivores - is an organism that mostly feeds on plants (Primary consumer)
- photoplankton
- seaweeds
- seagrasses
Example of photo- autotrophs(plants) - are organisms that carry out photosynthesis. Using energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are converted into organic materials to be used in callular functions such as biosynthesis and respiration.
- Pollution
- Overfishing
- Habitat destruction
- Climate change
- Invasive species (mga tresspasing na species)
- Dams and water diversion
- Eutrophication (process result of harmful algae blooms, deadzones, fish kills.)
The threats to the habitat of fishes?
It is means wetland waters and nonwetland waters.
Aquatic resources
Swales, vernal pools
The wetland water
