Orpha's teaching areas include the evolution and ecology of reef fishes, marine biogeography, biological oceanography, invertebrate biology and the fossil record of dinosaurs and vertebrates through time.

We investigate the evolution and function of marine organisms using genomic and proteomic techniques. Our research encompasses both applied and blue skies questions including helping to solve bottlenecks in fisheries and aquaculture industries.

Climate change threatens the survival of coral reefs on a global scale, primarily through mass bleaching and mortality as a result of marine heatwaves. While these short-term effects are clear, predicting the fate of coral reefs over the coming century is a major challenge.

Capitalising on its location right in the middle of Asia, James Cook University in Singapore has research expertise that specialises in the sustainable production of tropical aquaculture species. With world-class experts in aquaculture genetics, nutrition, hatchery production, husbandry and …

Aug 18, 2017 · The threat of predation, and the prey's response, are important drivers of community dynamics. Yet environmental temperature can have a significant effect on predation avoidance techniques such as fast-start performance observed in marine fishes.

Our research uses molecular tools to understand the evolution of marine organisms and how genes and gene products function to drive key processes in marine systems. Most of our work focuses on keystone taxa in coral-reef systems and important fishery and aquaculture species including corals, sponges, reef fish, cephalopods, lobsters and abalone.

Jennifer K. Cooper, Matthew Spencer, John F. Bruno 2 16 Abstract: Pressure on natural communities from human activities continues to increase. Even 17 unique ecosystems like the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), that until recently were considered near-18 pristine and well-protected, are showing signs of rapid degradation.

Up to 24 credit points may be granted for an AQF Level 8 qualification in a discipline that is closely aligned or related to marine biology as determined by the College of Science and Engineering. The CourseLoop Handbook contains information about courses and …
