Marine Biology Experiment

[Alex1524]

Hey guys, Im taking biology in college and we need to do some type of biology research experiment. My passion is diving and the ocean of course. Does anyone have any ideas on an experiment I can preform with marine life preferably underwater considering I have an underwater camera and I can take videos which would be amazing to share with the class. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you =-)

How about this - take something strange on the dive with you, like a toy, a fake fish, a strobe light, etc. Have your buddy dangle it on a string and film how various fish react to it. Then, post your videos here so we can see what happens.

I worked with a Professor on a project off Catalina Island where she made fake sea urchans to see how Blue Banded Gobies would react to them. The Gobies usually hide in the spines of real sea urchans.
