This text is designed to approach the morphology, anatomy, physiology and development of the Fishes in a coherent way since it is most natural for a students in studying the architectural elements of an animal body in the quest to know how they function. This text intends, therefore, to enable the student, through his own natural appetency, to correlate form and function so that he possesses for subsequent work in either anatomy of physiology a firm foundation for a real edifice of knowledge.
The book features both a text and a laboratory guide. It deals with the structure and physiological phenomena of each system. Origin, adaptive radiation and other general topics are also dealt in details. It is hoped that this book will not only meet the requirement of Indian students but will also be useful as a guideline to the teachers in their teaching.
