Concept in Definition ABC

The ichthyology is a discipline that inside the zoology takes care of way excluding of fish study. Not only will it be in charge of describing and providing fundamental data on the various species that exist and the new ones that are appearing, but also delves into issues such as the behavior and biology of the fish.

Fish are aquatic animals that since the beginning of the world have stood out as a result of the nutritional contribution that they knew how to contribute to man in his diet.
When the man discovered this question he obviously dedicated himself to protecting them to ensure their consumption.

In those initiation times of humanity, fish were used especially to be consumed in various food, in as much and with the passage of time its use added new variants such as sport fishing and its breeding, as is done with cattle in general, for its later commercialization.

Then, it is clear from the aforementioned that fish are animals that have enormous relevance in people's lives as well as in the Balance of the ecosystems of which they are part.

In its formal history, ichthyology has described a phenomenal number of species of fish, more than thirty thousand, however, They never cease to bring us news and there are many unknown species that suddenly and after some study come to light and thicken even more the ready.

Now, as a consequence of being such a complex and vast universe of study, it is that the Ichthyology does not act per se but also uses other fellow sciences to act, such is the case of the Marine biology that studies the species that inhabit the seas and oceans, or the oceanography which deals with addressing all phenomena and processes that occur in seas and ocean; wave limnology which deals especially with the water ecosystems that inhabit the continental part of the planet.
