Introduction to Marine Biology
Subject
Marine biology
Description
Marine biology is a younger science than terrestrial biology as early scientists were
limited in their study of aquatic organisms by lack of technology to observe and sample them. The Greek philosopher Aristotle was one of the firsts to design a classification
scheme for living organisms, which he called “the ladder of life” and in which he
described 500 species, several of which were marine. He also studied fish gills and
cuttlefish. The Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder published a 37-volume work called
Natural History, which contained several marine species.
