Ichthyology

The Ichthyology ( gr. Ἰχθυς ichthys 'fish' and -logie ), also ichthyology , is a branch of zoology that deals with the fish employed under natural and artificial conditions of life.

While most of the species of fish have now been identified, the biology and behavior of fish are still largely unexplored.

The fish poem Halieutika by Oppian is one of the first fish-related texts of antiquity . The first scientific illustrations with ichthyological illustrations were created in Paris by Pierre Belon in the middle of the 16th century . Shortly afterwards, the "Fish book" of appeared Conrad Gessner , who in 1557 also Fischbuch of Gregor Mangolt had published.

The practice of ichthyology is related to limnology , marine biology, and oceanography .

The most important ichthyologists include:

A prominent ichthyologist is the former Emperor Akihito of Japan .
