This course provides a comparative examination of selected freshwater and marine fishes to illustrate the influence of aquatic environments on life styles, behavioral patterns, physiological responses, population biology and community structure. The use of niche, habitat and ecotope concepts in defining the role of fishes in representative types of aquatic ecosystems will be examined.
