Marine Biologist

Research

Marine biologists in India study ocean ecosystems — coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, fisheries, and open-water biodiversity — from field stations and research vessels operated by ICAR-CMFRI Kochi, NIO Goa, CSIR-NIOT Chennai, and ZSI Marine Stations (Andaman, Chennai, Calicut). Work spans fish stock assessment using Maximum Sustainable Yield models, coral bleaching monitoring under GCRMN and Reef Check protocols, MPA management planning, and IUU fishing research fed into INCOIS databases. Conservation NGOs — DAKSHIN Foundation (Goa), Reef Watch India (Bengaluru) — hire field biologists for turtle nesting surveys and reef health monitoring. Entry requires M.Sc Marine Biology/Oceanography from CUSAT, Goa University, Annamalai, or BHU; competitive research positions demand a PhD plus CSIR-NET or ICMR-JRF clearance.
