Master List of Fishes for Ichthyology
the
following is a list of fishes to be familiar with for the midterm
lab practical.
Species names are linked to their sites with pictures at the www.FishBase.org archives.
I highly reccommend fishbase.org as further reading and browsing.
They even have a mini-ichthyology course.
If
the site is down, it has mirrors in France http://ichtyonb1.mnhn.fr/ and Germany www.fishbase.de
(the links in the table are to the german mirror, the original
site seems to be down)
