Marine biology is the study of organisms that live in SALT water.
Aquatic biology is the study of organisms that live in FRESH water.
"You’ve heard of marine biology, but what’s aquatic biology? Aquatic biology is like marine biology in that you study the ecology and behavior of plants, animals, and microbes living water; however, instead of focusing on salt water, aquatic biology majors study freshwater inland lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, and wetlands. In this major, you’ll cover all aspects of life in fresh water, from algae, to salmon, to plankton."
