Superb reference for the study of fishes, especially useful to undergraduate students - in wildlife and fisheries management, as well as ichthyology. Although the book covers basic fish anatomy, physiology and phylogeny the major theme of the book is evolutionary. What has been the effect of evolutionary pressures on the form and function of fishes?
Contents: introduction; fprm, function and ontogeny; taxonomy, phylogeny and evolution; zoogeography, habitats and adaptations; behaviour and ecology; the future of fishes: conservation.
