About

The course aims to provide broad and in-depth knowledge of comparative physiology from a marine perspective at the cell, organ and organism level. The focus is on the marine environment and how different organisms react to the environment and how they respond to it with the help of nervous and hormonal control systems and what happens if the environment changes for either natural reasons or caused by man. The course aims to apply basic physiological knowledge to potential problems in marine aquaculture.
