Biological Oceanography and Marine Biology are closely aligned areas with considerable overlap. In general biological oceanographers investigate the ecology of marine organisms in the context of the physical, chemical, and geological characteristics of the ocean environment in which they live. Many marine biologists are primarily interested in the biology of marine organisms themselves including their physiology, behavior, feeding biology, biochemistry, or reproduction.
