Aquatics and Fisheries Biology |
|
| The Aquatic and Fisheries Biology emphasis is designed for students interested in pursuing a career or graduate study in aquatic science. Available courses provide students with a degree of breadth and depth not usually available at the undergraduate level. Students are able to select courses that focus on several major groups of freshwater organisms, including fish, aquatic insects, freshwater algae, and aquatic plants, and on two major ecosystems, lake and river. |
|
| Grand Valley's location is ideal for the study of aquatic and fisheries biology. Many small lakes and streams are located close to campus, and Lake Michigan is is only a short drive away. The University's research vessels, the 45-foot D.J. Angus and the 65-foot W.G. Jackson, are available for departmental use, as are other facilities and resources of the Annis Water Resources Institute (AWRI). The extensive wetlands of the Grand River, which flows adjacent to the campus, provide other fascinating places for biological studies. |
