| Goals | The main objective of this course is to give students relevant Description of taxonomy and systematic, basic principles of systematics, the nomenclature system and naming animals, basic systematic categories. Fish description, zoogeographical areas, biological and ecological features belonging to agnatha (jawless), gnathostomata (jawss), elasmobranchii (cartilaginous fishs), actinoptergii-osteichthyes (ray finned fish-bony fish), charecteristics for specifications. In the laboratory of fish systematic, general qualifications of fish, body structures and areas, used morphometric features in fish nomenclature, descriptions of identifying keys and using. Taxonomic charecteristics's designation of members belonging to cyclostomata (round mouths), elasmobranchii (cartilaginous fish), selachii (sharks). rajiformes (skates and rays), osteichthyes (bony fish), chondrostei (chondrostean fishes) and teleostei (bony fish), displaying significant species in laboratory. |
