    Ichthyology is the branch of zoology that studies fish. It involves examining the form, anatomy, swimming, and breathing of fish. There are over 31,500 known fish species according to FishBase, more than all other vertebrates combined. The earliest ichthyologists were hunters and gatherers who studied fish to obtain food and tools, and shared their insights through art.

    Ichthyology

    Ichthyology is a branch oI zoology that studies Iish. I like


    ichthyology because I like the Iorm oI the Iish`s body, how they
    swim and their anatomy. It is Iascinating how they can live in
    the sea without breathing. According to FishBase, 31,500
    species oI Iish had been described by January 2010. There are
    more Iish species than the combined total oI all other
    vertebrates: mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds.The study
    oI Iish receives its origins Irom human's desire to Ieed, clothe,
    and equip themselves with useIul implements. According
    to Michael Barton, a prominent ichthyologist and proIessor
    at Centre College, "the earliest ichthyologists were hunters and
    gatherers who had learned how to obtain the most useIul Iish,
    where to obtain them in abundance and at what times they might
    be the most available". Early cultures maniIested these insights
    in abstract art and artistic expressions.
