This course is intended for first-year students in the Ecosystemic Fisheries Management speciality (1ʳᵉ année GEP).

It serves as a subject of Discovery Unit, aimed to familiarize students with the field of fishkeeping and the essential principles of caring for aquatic creatures in an aquarium.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will acquire the ability to create and maintain an aquarium tailored to the specific requirements of a species, a crucial skill for any ENSSMAL graduate.

  The objective of teaching the marine invertebrate systematics module:

  Familiarize students with the diversity of marine organisms without a backbone, with particular emphasis on their classification, anatomy, physiology, ecology and evolution. By understanding the systematics of marine invertebrates, students acquire the skills necessary to identify, classify and understand the biology of these organisms essential to the health of marine ecosystems. This course also aims to encourage students' scientific curiosity and develop their ability to think critically and analytically in the field of marine biology, particularly by examining the evolutionary mechanisms that have shaped the diversity of marine invertebrates over geological time. By exploring fossil evidence, current distribution patterns and phylogenetic relationships, students will be able to understand the evolutionary processes that have led to the multitude of adaptations observed in marine invertebrates and their crucial role in the complexity of ocean ecosystems.
