The same for Aquatic Animals. Also look for articles in animal behavior, science, physiology journals, biochemistry journals, etc. See what aspect you are interested in. Do a lit search at the library on what aspect you want to study and see who writes the articles, see what university they are associated with. Think about it.
Species is secondary.
Also go to your school Guidance Counselor. You should be able to find a reference librarian to help you find books about colleges. Included in those will be overall school rating and the rating of various departments. Depending on your interests you also might explore Animal Science depts. I'd like to specialize in studying sharks.
