This tutorial covers the major concepts taught in a Intermediate/Advanced Fish Biology class.  This tutorial includes elements of classification and identification, ecology, evolution, behavior, and anatomy to provide a broad overview of the biology of fishes.  The course includes original readings from the primary literature and student presentations of papers.  Compared to more traditional courses in ichthyology, this tutorial emphasizes work in conservation biology and population structure of fishes, and the ecology and behavior of fishes.  Classes will be a mix of professor and student run lectures, with occasional laboratories or field trips to study fish anatomy and diversity.   Evaluation is based on student presentations of papers and a final presentation on a research topic, answers to take-home exams, class participation. 

Level:  Intermediate/Advanced.  Lab fee: $40, Class limit: 5
