Systematics and biogeography: an overview,gations make their identification very important. Unfortunately, their taxonomy and classification is unsatisfactory; the historical reasons are discussed here and a revised classification is presented. First, a brief overview of cyprinid anatomy, diversity and ecology is given.

The fossil record of the Cyprinidae,s many people. Fossils can indicate the latest possible date of origin of a phyletic line, and may reveal geographic distribution and the environment occupied. Sometimes well-preserved fossils can increase knowledge concerning the primitive or derived morphology of osteological characters used in sy

REP

Morphometric investigations in cyprinid biology,stein (1977, 1982) attributed the theoretical foundation of morphometrics to D’Arcy Thompson’s On Growth and Form (1942), which sought to express biological form in terms of physical laws. There followed a long period of quiescence, when little or no advancement to the conceptual framework was made.

Molecular and cytological investigations,chnology have facilitated the resolution of characters that were formerly beyond measurement. Although some characters derived from these studies have been employed in investigations of gene evolution, genomic organization, and mechanistic aspects of organismic evolution, most applications with cypr

It also has the largest lake (Caspian Sea, 371 000km.) and the deepest (Baikal, 1620 m). The Yangtze River is the third longest after the Nile and the Amazon at

Acoustico-lateralis system,omasts (Fig. 11.1). Identity of origins has been demonstrated in . (Wilson and Mattocks, 1897), but not in cyprinids. In . observed at hatching, the system develops from one distinct placode for the otic vesicle and two contiguous placodes for the lateral line (Lekander, 1949).

Diets and feeding behaviour,ean cyprinids from running and stagnant fresh water. Most feed on the secondary producers: Zooplankton, macrocrustaceans, larvae, pupae and adults of insects, oligochaetes, bryozoans, snails, and mussels. Some also consume primary (macrophytes and phytoplankton) or tertiary producers (fish), but onl
