Survey of the diversity, anatomy, and ecology of fishes. Some emphasis is given to species native to Alabama and its coastal waters (i.e., freshwater and marine), but the course is comprehensive in terms of fish phylogeny and biology. The Laboratory is demanding and focused on species identification and the use of dichotomous keys as well as hands-on exploration of anatomy (e.g., dissection).
