ES 62400 - Ichthyology


(4) This is an intensive block course designed to give you an in-depth understanding of Ichthyology, the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish. This is a block course that blends lab work focused on fish identification, dissection, scientific drawing and skeleton reconstruction with intensive fieldwork. In the field the class operates as a research group working cooperatively with local scientists and community members to enhance ongoing applied research projects with information on fish form and function. Throughout the course lectures and reading will address fish taxonomy and systematics, behavior, anatomy and physiology, field identification, ecology, and fisheries science. This is a fast-paced course which will require extensive work outside of class meeting time and availability to travel out of town for fieldwork. Prerequisite: ES 60100  Research Methods or instructor’s permission Offered: Summer block in odd years. Alternates with ES 69200 - Fisheries Ecology
