Ichthyology

Ichthyology is the scientific study of fish. It includes topics such as fish classification, fish anatomy, fish physiology, ecology, behavior, and the interrelationships between humans and fish. The knowledge gained from ichthyology is essential for the conservation of fish populations and other aquatic species, as well as understanding the impact of human activities on the marine environment. It is also used to support the sustainable management and exploitation of fish resources. Understanding the behavior of fish can help inform fisheries and aquaculture management decisions, as well as furthering our knowledge of the intricate relationships between humans and nature.
