Welcome to AQS 209: Invertebrates II - Not all organisms in aquaria or under cultivation are fish. This course examines sea jellies (e.g., free swimming and benthic gelatinous marine animals) and echinoderms (e.g., sea stars, urchins, sea cucumbers). These groups are common residents of public aquaria, some are important in commercial fisheries and often cultivated commercially through aquaculture. This course examines their anatomy and physiology as well as the elements necessary for husbandry and breeding. Diagnostic methods will be covered, as well as common diseases and treatments.
