Course context for academic year 2011-12

El estudio de una asignatura de zoología marina en el Grado de Ciencias del Mar se justifica plenamente
porque proporcionará los conocimientos necesarios para comprender la diversidad animal del medio marino
en conjunto y los esquemas estructurales que caracterizan a cada grupo. El aprovechamiento de este curso,
que ahondará en las bases taxonómicas y sistemáticas de los animales marinos, será fundamental para
poder aprovechar asignaturas de cursos posteriores como biología marina, acuicultura, oceanografía
biológica, biología pesquera, planctología y ordenación y conservación de recursos vivos marinos.
