As children my sis and I would spend golden childhood time during low tides turning over rocks and playing with the tiny crabs we found on a beach by our cabin on Camano Island. If a rock was deeply embedded there'd often be something that looked like an eel, squirming long narrow body and little fins sticking out from the base of their head. What the heck were those? I remember bringing some home once in a bucket of puget sound water for show and tell at school, different times! We let them go at Alki beach in Seattle. Even back then in the 1960's people had mostly decoupled from the natural ..read more

I've tried to poke around subs/forums that are more relevant to aquaculture/the aquarium hobby, but I feel like I should start by consulting marine biologists on this project. Breeding these doesn't seem to be done in the hobby, so there's not really info in that realm, but I know some university labs work with planktonic crab larva.
I’ve been putting research into the natural life cycles of 'moon crabs'. I have just acquired a young pair. I am not absolutely positive of the species, but it is the genus Gecarcinus, most likely Gecarcinus quadratus.
They’ll be in a 40 gallon breeder. For now ..read more

I need some guidance on some career options, as someone who has only a semester worth of courses done at a university I withdrew from. I'm looking forward to applying to a community college to knock out some basics, and then eventually applying to a coastal university in Texas to have a major in marine bio.
That's my somewhat concrete plan right now.
In regards to my question, I think I would like to study/research jellyfish and stingrays. Maybe octopuses. My concern is the lack of funding these research opportunities may have, therefore being oversaturated and having a lack of opportunities ..read more

Hi all! For the past 2 years my plan has been to obtain an associates in biology from my local community College (in Nevada) and then transfer to a larger university with a dedicated marine science program for a bachelors/masters as Nevada colleges do not offer marine science degrees (Looking at California, Texas, and Florida).
However, recently I've considered the possibility of transferring to an in-state university to pursue a degree in microbiology or ecology. This would save me A LOT of money, and allow me to keep my current job as a biologist at an aquarium where I've accrued thousands ..read more

I’m writing a paper on the importance of estuaries. It’s for economics so I need to have some sort of policy That I can say, and 1456D is really the only estuary preservation when I can find. The problem is I can’t find anything on how effective it’s been, I understand that it’s only been like 22 or so since it’s been put in place years since it’s been put in place, but I would think there would be more information. Does anyone know anything that could help or a different policy I could? Mainly, I’m looking for if it did help with the absorption of carbon and stuff.
My main problem is that I ..read more
