fisheries researchers - Fish research is a branch of zoology known as ichthyology. Scientists who specifically study fish are called ichthyologists.There are three distinct groups of fish that ichthyologists study: bony fish, cartilaginous fish, and jawless fish. Ichthyology has a long history that began with simple observations and descriptions of fish over 200 years. The first known recorded observations of fish were documented by Pierre Belon in the 1500’s. In the early 1700’s, Peter Artedi’s, who some consider to be the Father of Ichthyology, had his work “Ichthyologia” posthumously published by Karl Linnaeus. At that time, Artedi recognized 230 species of fish. Today, we recognize approximately 31, 900 species. There are approximately 31, 900 species of known fish according to FishBase, a website that provides data about all known fish. FishBase is run by a consortium that is made up of an international group of organizations, universities, and museums from countries around the world: Greece, China, Canada, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium, Sweden, and Malaysia. Additional ichthyologic research is conducted through various universities and institutions around the world that continue to add to the body of knowledge about fish. This knowledge plays an important role in the future of one of the largest ecosystems in the world: the ocean
