PP SLIDE 8: Aquatic ectothermic vertebrates with gills and fin-shaped limbs; Fish = one
or more individuals of the same species; Fishes = multiple species; Fishes are mostly
marine (> 50% of all species); many in fresh water; 1% in both environments; Highest
diversity in tropics; Indo-West Pacific highest diversity of marine fishes; South America,
Asia, Africa highest diversity of freshwater fishes

PP SLIDE 13: Fish II:
Most diverse and diversified vertebrates; Extensive adaptive radiation into several niches
Species vary in locomotion: immobile, walking, flying; Variable reproduction: hatch,
breed & die; mouth-brooding, terrestrial oviposition with parental care (splashing);
Variable diet: fish, inverts, carcasses, mammals, scales, eyes, plankton; wood, seeds,
fruit, flowers, leaves; Free-living to parasitic (only vertebrates that are endoparasites)
