The animals loosely termed fish constitute more than half of all
known vertebrate species. There are approximately 27,000 described
living species of bony fishes (Euteleostomi = Osteichthyes), about
70 species of hagfishes and some 34 species of lampreys.
Approximately 970 species are chondrichthyans, the sharks and their
relatives, which were the subject of volume 3 in this series. It is
perhaps because fishes live in a buoyant medium, whether it be
fresh or sea water, that they show a diversity in body shapes that
is unparalleled by other vertebrates. There is also a unique
diversity in the modes of reproduction, whether by external or
internal fertilization, and this, with the morphology and fine
structure of the reproductive system and its components, is the
subject of Part A. Part B deals with complementary topics: testes,
sperm, and sperm competition; endocrinology of reproduction;
pheromones and reproduction; copulatory structures: taxonomic
overview and the potential for sexual selection; sexual selection:
signaling and courtship; adaptation and evolution of reproductive
mode in copulating cottoid species; fertilization; sex
determination; parental care; reproduction in relation to
conservation and exploitation of marine fishes; Cryopreservation of
Gametes; Embryogenesis and Development; and Molecular Genetics of
Development.
