BIO 298 - Biology of Sharks

In this course, we will explore the diversity of elasmobranch fishes (sharks, skates, and rays), in terms of evolution, phylogeny, physiology, biomechanics, behaviour, and ecology. We will also look at the relationship between humans and elasmobranch fishes and current conservation issues. The course will include at least one field trip and in-class laboratory activities. Prerequisite: BIO 111 or 112 or permission from the instructor.
