Question

Marine biologist and a aquaculturist?THANKS

Answer 1

A marine biologist is cute and has a hairy chest, while an aqua-
culturist is a geek, with glasses who has a squint in the sunlight.

Answer 2

Becoming a marine biologist

This is a harder question to answer than you may imagine! Marine biology is the field of knowledge relating to marine organisms. But what is a marine biologist? To many, it means being a dolphin trainer but to others it means managing a marine wildlife sanctuary. There are many answers to this question and I would say that a marine biologist is someone who works in some way in studying, observing, protecting, or managing marine organisms, be they plant or animal. If you study marine fish populations you are a marine biologist. If you manage a marine wildlife preserve and are concerned with protection of marine organisms there, then you too are a marine biologist. You know you're a marine biologist if you have a notebook or computer in which you record information often about marine organisms. But you may also be a marine biologist if you are collecting sponges, or looking for bioactive drugs that might help people in curing disease. You may be counting marine creatures, doing DNA sequencing of them, observing them in the laboratory or making theoretical models predicting their abundance once fishing is decreased. So marine biologists do many things, but what they have in common is working with marine organisms.


Becoming an Aquaculturist

Farmers, who breed and grow shellfish, crustaceans or fin fish for profit are called aquaculturists. Aquaculture is an exciting growth area in WA. It includes everything from pearl farming in the State's north to aquarium fish breeding in the Perth metropolitan area. Aquaculturists may work on ocean pens off the coast growing marine fin fish, or on inland farms where marron, trout or other freshwater species can be cultivated in ponds.

Answer 3

I'll give this a go. A marine biologist studies marine animals. An Aguaculturist studies water plants.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

A marine biologist is someone who studies aquatic life, either in natural or controlled marine environments. Marine biologist can have a very wide range of goals depending on what he or she hopes to learn or accomplish. An aquaculturist could be considered a marine biologist, as they also study marine life. But their field is narrowed down into working on a specific topic. In other words an aquaculturist studies specifically the cultivation of aquatic plants and animals. It's basically a person who specializes in underwater agriculture.

Answer 5

A marine biologist studies plants and animals in the sea or body of water, while an aquaculturist is a person who applies knowledge gained from the marine biologist in the farming and culture of plants and animals from sea or a body of water. In this manner, Aquaculture is one of the practical applications of the knowledge gained from Marine Biology.

Answer 6

Marine biologist studies about marine life or the life under the sea, whereas aquaculturist is only limited to the bodies of water.

Answer 7

I think marine biologists get to go scuba and deep sea diving. No wonder so many people want to be a Marine biologist. Aha, sunny days in the Carribean,Meditterenean or Australias shores on a fancy boat, night time partying all so as to advance marine biology. Let's be honest people. Their job is a vacation. Aquaculturists, sounds like a position at the pet stores aguatic department or someone who cleans & maintains fishtanks at zoo's. Maybe,it's a job like a dog breeder but they breed aguatic life.

Answer 8

Marine biologist studies about marine life or the life under the sea, whereas aquaculturist is only limited to the bodies of water.

Answer 9

Marine biologists study sea life. Some study the physiology of sea animals and how they cope with living in salt water. Others study ecological interactions between different sea creatures. Just some examples.

Aquaculturists generally are not researchers. They grow aquatic (marine or freshwater) organisms for various purposes, such as aquarium supply or food. The people who work at fish farms are aquaculturists.

Answer 10

Marine biologists study the relations between ocean phenomena and the distribution and adaptations of organisms.

I think an aquaculturist cultivates freshwater & marine in a controlled enviroment.

Answer 11

A marine biologist makes more money, besides they usually have at least two professional degrees. Compare it to a licensed plumber and a civil enginner. The plumber is equal to the aquaculturist. As the civil engineer is equivilent to the marine biologist.
