Marine Biology Intern

• May 2015 - Aug 2015

• Identified, dissected and took multiple samples of a myriad of marine species (skates, stingrays, sharks, and fishes), preserved biological samples including placentas, stomachs, DNA and muscle tissues for further analysis on several projects. • Measured physical data of dissection specimens, photographed every individual specimen and recorded dissections, reported a variety of measurements, data entry, documented dissection procedure for repeatability and consistency. … Show more • Identified, dissected and took multiple samples of a myriad of marine species (skates, stingrays, sharks, and fishes), preserved biological samples including placentas, stomachs, DNA and muscle tissues for further analysis on several projects. • Measured physical data of dissection specimens, photographed every individual specimen and recorded dissections, reported a variety of measurements, data entry, documented dissection procedure for repeatability and consistency. • Stomachs from samples were kept in-tact to be further dissected at a later date for food web building. • Helped analyze placenta, DNA and muscle tissue samples to determine genetic similarities between different generations of stingray and skate species. This paper is currently finalizing peer review and is soon to be published. • Collected beach hopper specimens from field for environmental plastics trial. • Aided in the maintenance of several aquariums housing shark eggs, pups, and goatfish. • Observed the implementation of spatial mapping, directionality, and memory testing in Port Jackson sharks. • Assisted with collection of sea urchins and kelp specimens for adhesiveness studies.
