About This Book

This volume presents a systematic survey of fishes, combining anatomical description, classification, fossil records, life histories, and species accounts. It treats ancient ganoid groups and diverse teleost orders, detailing families such as garpikes, bowfins, salmonids, eels, ostariophysans, catfishes, and lanternfishes, among others, with notes on development, reproduction, and distribution. Chapters explain morphological features used in classification, illustrate representative species, and discuss paleontological evidence and hatchery and fisheries practices where relevant. Emphasis falls on comparative morphology and taxonomy, supported by numerous figures and plates to aid identification and study.

The adoption of the Code of the International Congress of Zoology necessitates a few changes in generic names used in this book.

Thus Amia (ganoid) becomes Amiatus
  Apogon becomes Amia
  Scarus becomes Callyodon
  Teuthis becomes Hepatus
  Acanthurus becomes Monoceros
  Paramia becomes Cheilodipterus
  Centropomus (Oxylabrax) remains Centropomus

  Nomeus (Gobiomorus) remains Nomeus
  Galeus (Galeorhinus) remains Galeus
  Carcharias (Carcharhinus) remains Carcharias
