Marine Biology Explorations
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/marinebio/explorations.html
   
  A site developed at State University of New York at Stony Brook. Miscellaneous information about various marine organisms, grouped by the habitat in which the particular organisms are found. Categories especially worth consulting: Plankton, Hot Vents, Larvae, Antarctic.
