Ichthyology, for example, is the study of fishes, and ichthyologists structure, function, ecology, and are working to understand the evolution of fishes. The studies of the fish have uncovered an astonishing diversity. A large group, Cichlids, Africa (1,000 species), Central and South America (300 species), India (3 species) and North America (1 species) is found in. Members of this group a great variety of color patterns (figure 1.1), residence, and body form. Cichlids in the feeding habits of Ichthyologists have described a broad range. , Tanganicodus insects as pickers; and scale eaters Perissodus like fish in the algae scrapers Eretmodus, with chisel-like teeth that nip is like weed, are included. Cichlids are the two pairs of jaws.Cichlids are many faces of young children. A woman takes her eggs after the eggs are forming in the mouth. He inhales the sperm released by males, and fertilization and development take place within the woman's mouth! Even after the eggs hatch, the young woman in danger if threatened (figure 1.2) are taken into the mouth. Color pattern, body form and behavior of fish in this family of animals in hundreds of variations of the extraordinary diversity in a relatively small branch is located. Zoologists and understand the great diversity in the world are working to protect.
