About the Book

Excerpt: ...on the median line, dorsal and ventral, including the tail or caudal fin, the dorsal fin, and the anal fin. Paired fins, fins occurring in pairs of which the more anterior are the pectoral fins and the posterior are the pelvic fins. Fin rays, the framework or skeleton of the fins over which membrane is stretched to form the fins. Fin rays are of two kinds: those composed of bone and those composed of cartilage. Lateral line, a sense organ extending along each side of the fish in a line indicated by tubes or perforations in the scales. Gills, respiratory organs adapted for taking oxygen from the water. Operculum, the flaps covering the gills on each side of the head. Pigment, a substance which gives color to an object. Observations. Locomotion. Watch the fishes in the large aquarium and determine which fins are most used and how they are used (a) in swimming forward, (b) in swimming upward and downward, (c) in maintaining balance, (d) in remaining at rest, and (e) in guiding the movements of the fish. What advantages are there to the fish (a) in the power to open and close the dorsal and anal fins, (b) in having no neck, and (c) in having a compressed form? Enumerate the various ways by which the body of the fish is adapted to rapid movement through the water. Feeding. What is the food of the fishes you are studying? Feed them and watch them eat. Why is the upper jaw often called a "lip"? What is the shape and size of the mouth when opened in feeding? Does the fish chew its food? Describe in detail the fishes' method of feeding. Respiration. Identify the opercula and the gill openings. Watch the movements of the opercula and mouth, and determine what movements are concerned in breathing and their order. Describe in detail the circulation of water used in breathing and how it is caused. Sense Organs. Identify the eyes, nostrils, and lateral line. How many nostrils are there and where located? What is the position and extent of the lateral line?...
