Hello,

I hope you are doing good,

After Class 12, you can take up courses in associated fields of Biology like Zoology, Botany, Aquatic Biology, Biotechnology, Fishery Science, Marine Biology etc at Bachelor's level. After the Bachelor's degree level, students can take up Master's followed by research courses in Biology.

The following books would be really helpful:

The Unnatural History of the Sea – Prof. Calum Roberts

Mapping the Deep – Robert Kunzig

Spirals in Time – Dr. Helen Scales

Vanished Ocean: How Tethys Reshaped the World – Prof. Dorrik Stow

The Empty Ocean – Richard Ellis

Voyage of the Turtle: In pursuit of the Earth’s last dinosaur – Prof. Carl Safina

Reflections on a Summer Sea – Prof. Trevor Norton

Narwhals: Arctic Whales in a Melting World – Todd McLeish

Flotsametrics and the floating world – Dr. Curtis Ebbesmeyer & Eric Scigliano

A Life Underwater – Dr. Charlie Veron

A marine biologist does not have a specific blueprint when it comes to education requirements besides a bachelor’s degree in a related science. Further education will act as a bonus and add more value to the biologist.
