Course ID: | FISH(ECOL)(MARS)(WILD) 4300L/6300L. 1 hour. 3 hours lab per week. | Course Title: | Environmental Biology of Fishes Laboratory | Course Description: | Laboratory exercises will emphasize anatomy, systematics, and
taxonomy of Georgia fishes. Students will learn how to identify
both live and preserved specimens using meristics and
morphometrics according to established dichotomous keys for
Southeastern United States fishes. | Oasis Title: | ENV BIOL FISH LAB | Nontraditional Format: | Some graded field trips are required. | Prerequisite: | BIOL 1108-1108L | Corequisite: | FISH(ECOL)(MARS)(WILD) 4300/6300 | Semester Course Offered: | Offered spring semester every year. | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| Course Objectives: | This course introduces students to an integrated approach to
fish biology, including anatomy, morphology, physiology,
ecology and behavior. Students will study how fishes interact
with their environment and the wide range of biological
adaptations they have evolved to live in a remarkably diverse
range of habitats. Throughout this course students will
demonstrate their understanding through critical examination of
the facts and principles of the various aspects of fish
biology, relate their insights to contemporary environmental
issues affecting fish habitat, and practice their critical
thinking, problem-solving and writing skills. | Topical Outline: | Functional anatomy and morphology
Body form and swimming
Taxonomy of:
1. moronidae
2. centrarchidae
3. salmonidae
4. ictaluridae
5. catastomidae
6. percidae
7. cyprinidae
8. and other SE families | |
