Overview

This course is concerned with introducing the student to the general foundations of fish and aquaculture biology and the classification of different groups, giving a brief overview of the classification and geographical distribution between the different fish and aquatic life groups in the world, studying the different differences between them in terms of external shape and internal organs, and identifying their environment, nutrition, reproduction, migration, and growth
