This Laboratory Manual supports a one-semester introductory course in ichthyology.
During his career he has also taught or carried out research at The Friday Harbor Marine Laboratories of the University of Washington, The University of Hawaii, The Long Marine Laboratory of UC Santa Cruz, Hopkins Ma.
Alan is currently a member of the Biology Faculty at BYU-Idaho where he teaches ichthyology, marine biology, invertebrate zoology, limnology, and a course on climate change.
He has taught full-time at the university level for over 20 years.
He then earned a Ph D in Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
He earned BS and MS degrees in Zoology with an emphasis in aquatic biology from BYU-Provo. 1" Sorry about that -- ARHAbout the Author: Alan Holyoak is a marine biologist and university professor.
The cell in the character matrix for the Character "Jaw" and the Taxon "Petromyzontidae" (lamprey) should contain a "0" instead of "2. 2. 23 in Table 3.

After all, it\'s not what we know about animals but how we think about them that truly matters.
These exercises can help them come to view fishes in new and interesting ways.
The exercises in this Manual can help students hone their skills as scientific observers and thinkers.
This is my attempt to provide them a useful, affordable Laboratory Manual on the biology of fishes.
I also wrote it because I empathize with the plight of university science students who are constantly faced with what I consider to be exorbitant textbook prices.
I developed them originally because there was no Laboratory Manual available that provided my students with the kinds of hands-on Laboratory experiences I want them to have.
This Laboratory Manual grew out of a set of exercises I developed over my years of teaching ichthyology.
It includes exercises in which students use dichotomous keys, carry out basic phylogenetic analysis, and learn comparative anatomy of jawless, cartilaginous, and bony fishes.
