| The course is to provide the basics of aquatic biology on the aspects of natural history and diversity of fish. • Basic anatomy of Fish and Shellfish • Study of food and feeding habits of commercially important fish. • Digestive system, Natural fish food, Types of feeding • Qualitative and Quantitative methods of analysis of stomach contents. • Age and growth determination by direct and indirect methods. • Reproductive biology: maturity stages, gonadosomatic index, pondoral index, fecundity, sex ratio and spawning. • Eggs and larval stages and developmental biology of finfishes and shell fishes. • Tagging and marking of finfish and shellfish. • Behavior and cognition. Schooling, orientation and migration. • Symbiosis and biodiversity |
| English Outline： |
| Biology is the study of life forms and in this undergraduate course the students will be studying life history events of fishes, including shellfishes in the context of fisheries and important aquaculture species. The main aim of this course is to introduce the immensely fascinating world of fish biology, to give advanced information on the unique adaptations of various biological systems of fish and shellfish, to provide basic practical skills in different aspects of aquatic biology such as sampling of fish and shellfish, quantitative meristic and morphometrics, comparative studies on gills, scales, pharyngeal teeth and brain of fishes and to understand the principles of aquatic biology life in freshwater; lentic and lotic environments, freshwater wetlands will be discussed in this course. |
| 本科目教學目標Course Objectives： |
| Students will be trained in the aspects of aquatic biology. Students will be provided with update knowledge of fish and shellfish biology and their issues in management. |
