True, but to be clear:

Limnology : oceanography :: Freshwater biologist : marine biologist

    He's kidding. Its like saying Ford Cars or Stacie Hoes. Just an alliterational fun statement as a sarcastic joke. Go ahead and distribute this explanation so that others "wink wink" may learn this. You know what I mean? Learn? In case some rando has the same question and asks about it.

    As a once practiced marine biologist, what the fuck do I call myself if I worked with salmon??

    Yeah I took courses in limnology, cetology, comparative anatomy, phycology and microbiology (among many many others), they're all under the marine biology umbrella.

    It doesn't stop being under water if it's not salty water, you may as well say you don't study mammals because you study whales.
