Deathwatch shoots marines. They want to use a discipline for helping to wounding on 3+. Can the marine player now use trans human physiology or do they have to declare using it as soon as I choose them?

What are you talking about ? DW has mission tactics and special issue ammunition. There is no discipline for DW.

Are you talking about Stratagems?

If they happen at the same time, the player who's turn it is chooses the order.

It depends on the Deathwatch ability you're referring to. I don't know which one you're talking about to know when it's eligible to be used. If you have to use the Deathwatch ability at the beginning of your turn, you have to declare first. If you have to use it when choosing a target, you have to declare at the same time, and use sequencing - usually this means you'd declare you're using yours, they'd declare they're using theirs, you'd decide who gets to resolve first, and then you'd have to check the rules to see which has precedence if either.

Deathwatch disciplines are strategems and it asks you to declare when you choose a target. Trans human physiology asks you to declare when you unit is chosen as a target.

So in this case, the deathwatch player would have to declare both shot type and whether they will use a discipline before they have to declare trans human?

I would agree with that. The disciplines are present tense (when you 'choose'). Trans Human is past tense ('chosen'). Therefore Trans Human happens later.
