Obtaining information

Large numbers of scientific publications about fish appear each year, resulting in accumulation of a vast quantity of information, and this has become a major enterprise. However, much of the information concerns identification of fish and their habitats, and logistical considerations result in concentration of experimental work on relatively few species. Commercial exploitation of fish species also influences decisions on which to study. The main types of information sources are reviewed as well as ‘type’ fish for particular studies in anatomy and physiology. However, given the large number of fish species and adaptive diversity extrapolation of information from any single one should be conservative and may give rise to problems, including skewed conclusions.
