- 35summary of major group characteristics

- 36Fusiform body shape (photo)

- 37Fusiform body shapestreamlined fish that has a
pointed head and narrow caudal peduncle (back)
-deepest/widest part is about 1/3 back from head
-slightly compressed sides
-fast swimming/cruising fish - 38compressiform (photo)

- 39compressiformlaterally flattened body shape
-squeezed from teh sides
-tall
-most fish are this form - 40depressiform (photo)

- 41depressiformdorso-ventrally flattened body shape
-pancake fish
-specialization for benthic feeding - 42anguiliformeel-like body shape with a round cross-section
-often a specialization for benthic life
-not good at sustained swimming but good at hiding - 43globiforma spherical shaped body (much like a globe)
-not efficient swimming but very maneuverable
-shape part of defense - 44scalationscale size, number, and arrangement depend on the ecology of the fish
- 45placoidancestral fish scales
tiny tooth like structures sometimes called dermal denticles
ex. elasmobranchs - 46ganoidancestral fish scales
thick, jointed
large diamond-shaped scales that don't overlap
ex. gars - 47"naked" fishno scales at all but protected by mucus
- 48cycloidleptoid fish scales
round, flat, thin scales
overlapping
pretty good armor but fish is more flexible due to overlap
ex. troug minows herrings - 49leptoid scalesthe light, overlapping scales fo teleost fishes
- 50Ctenoidleptoid fish scales
spiny-finned teleosts
similar to cycloid scales but with small comb-like projections - 51scutesnot sclaes
bony external plates
not flexible, but provide armor-like protection
-slow swimming fish - 52scales tell us about fishfast fish don't have visible scales; don't need protection because they can swim away and scales would slow them down
- 53Key functions of finspropulsion, maneuvering, stabilization, courtship displays, protection, specialized functions (fanning eggs, digging)
- 54Fin placement photo

- 55Ceratotrichia finsstiff plate like features, no branching, no segmentation
ex. Chondrichthyes (elasmobrachs) - 56Lepidotrichia fins (soft fin ray)anchored to bones that project into fish; flexible, branching, segmented
ex. bony fish - 57fine Spines (hard fin ray)bony fish may have these
hard and pointed, unsegmented and unbranched fin ray - 58Paired fins -pelvicsthoracic, jugular, abdominal
- 59thoracic paired pelivic finsdirectly below pectoral fins; help with manuevering
- 60jugular paired pelvic finsin front of pectoral fins
- 61abdominal pelvic finsfins somewhere behind pectoral fin; often used for stabilization
- 62Paired fins - pectorals pt 1shape either elongated or broad, lots of variation and specialization
-sharks use their pectorals to generate lift, some use it to glide - 63Paired fins - pectorals pt 1generally used for steering; could be used for propulsion
elongated; high-speed maneuvering
broad; quick turns and stability - 64Caudal fin - heterocercaltail with longer upper lobe and shorter lower lobe
- 65caudal fin - homocercaltail in which the upper and lower lobes are externally symmetrical
many different shapes (lunate, forked, rounded, square, and many intermediate forms - 66caudal fin - isocercallacks well-defined lobes (pretty much comes to a point)
- 67caudal fin (photo)

- 68caudal fin shape tradeoffmore speed with greater forking (lunate the fastest)
more acceleration and maneuverability with rounded tails - 69anal fin purposestability
- 70adipose finfleshy dorsal appendage (on top of fish behind dorsal fin)
most fish don't have this - 71caudal pedunclethe base of a fish’s tail
- 72mouth placementsuperior, terminal, inferior
- 73superior mouthon top of head
good for fish foraging at surface - 74terminal mouthat front of head
good for fish chasing down prey in front of them - 75inferior mouthat bottom of head
good for bottom feeders - 76gill rakersbony or cartilaginous arches within the mouth
-structure can indicate diet - 77naresnostrils
- 78barbelswhiskery strucutres (fleshy) covered in smell receptors
- 79ampullaeelectroreceptors; can detect electric fields
- 80axial skeleton

- 81appendicular skeleton

- 82vertebral elements

- 83myomeresW shaped bundles of muscles that extend the length of the body
- 84myoseptaconnective tissue that vertically separates each myomere bundle
- 85white muscleburst swimming
