Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Devonian Fishes of Missouri Mr. Rowley says of the occurrence of these fossils: I have found them in the one-foot dark blue shale under the Louisiana or lithographic limestone, from the top of the shale quite to the bottom, but most abundant from the middle to the top. Just under the Louisiana limestone is a thin band of yellow sandy shale, from a fraction of an inch to two and one-half inches thick, well filled with the same fossils as the limestone above. In places, especially where the yellow shale is thin, the fossils extend downward, sometimes two or three inches, thus invading the fish bone horizon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Fishes These two movements may be made antagonistic by poor teaching. The book knowledge, containing as it does the precious lesson of human experience, may be so taught as to bring with it only dead rules of conduct, only dead, scraps of information, and no stimulant to original thinking. Its contents may be memorized without being understood. On the other hand, the self-activity of the child may be stimulated at the expense of his social well-being - his Originality may be cultivated at the expense of his rationality. If he is taught persistently to have his own way, to trust only his own senses. To cling to his own Opinions heedless of the experience of his fellows, he is pre paring for an unsuccessful, misanthropic career, and is likely enough to end his life in a madhouse. It is admitted that a too exclusive study of the knowledge found in books, the knowledge which is aggregated from the experience and thought of other people, may result in loading the mind of the pupil with material which he can not use to advantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take your knowledge of fishes to the next level Fishes of the World, Fifth Edition is the only modern, phylogenetically based classification of the world’s fishes. The updated text offers new phylogenetic diagrams that clarify the relationships among fish groups, as well as cutting-edge global knowledge that brings this classic reference up to date. With this resource, you can classify orders, families, and genera of fishes, understand the connections among fish groups, organize fishes in their evolutionary context, and imagine new areas of research. To further assist your work, this text provides representative drawings, many of them new, for most families of fishes, allowing you to make visual connections to the information as you read. It also contains many references to the classical as well as the most up-to-date literature on fish relationships, based on both morphology and molecular biology. The study of fishes is one that certainly requires dedication—and access to reliable, accurate information. With more than 30,000 known species of sharks, rays, and bony fishes, both lobe-finned and ray-finned, you will need to master your area of study with the assistance of the best reference materials available. This text will help you bring your knowledge of fishes to the next level. Explore the anatomical characteristics, distribution, common and scientific names, and phylogenetic relationships of fishes Access biological and anatomical information on more than 515 families of living fishes Better appreciate the complexities and controversies behind the modern view of fish relationships Refer to an extensive bibliography, which points you in the direction of additional, valuable, and up-to-date information, much of it published within the last few years Fishes of the World, Fifth Edition is an invaluable resource for professional ichthyologists, aquatic ecologists, marine biologists, fish breeders, aquaculturists, and conservationists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Food of the Fishes of Winona Lake I have been asked by the Division of Fish and Game of the Department of Conservation, State of Indiana, to write an introduction to Mr. DeRyke's paper on the "Food of Fishes" to show the relation of such work to the production of fish. First of all, I want to emphasize the fact that our streams and lakes are not waste areas. Aside from the great values that they have as places for recreation and their important relation to drainage and water power they are capable of producing crops equal to, if not greater, than those produced on the land. Without discussing this in detail the fact may be pointed out, that in pre-war days the carp ponds of China rented for thirty dollars per acre cash rent. This is an income of 10 percent on a $300 valuation or 6 percent on a $500 valuation. Not much farm land is worth more than that. The crops from our waters are harvested for the most part as sport, which makes us sometimes forget that these crops must be produced. In order to raise any crop of plants or animals economically it is necessary to know many things. This knowledge is more nearly complete for land crops than for water crops, or to put it technically, agriculture is more nearly a science than is aquiculture. In agriculture we know something of soils, the things needed to maintain their fertility, and the kind and amount of seeds that will produce the best results. When stockraising is added, we know something of breeds, the amount and kind of food they require, and their general care. To cite a few specific instances: we know the amount of seed wheat or seed corn required per acre to produce the best results. In general, we expect 100 pounds of pork for each 13 bushels of corn, etc. There is this difference between land and water crops. Land crops can be produced by pure culture methods, that is, when we raise corn nothing else is permitted to grow in that field. The hogs that are to eat the corn do not touch it until it is mature. This is because the crops can be marketed and fed dry. Water crops on the other hand must be grown in mixed culture. For instance, a black bass may feed chiefly on minnows, the minnows feed on small crustacea, worms, and insect larvae, and these feed on still smaller animals, plants, and plant debris. This food chain may be varied and is different for the different fishes. Many fishes are supported by very complex food chains. In order to produce the end product the whole chain must be looked after, and be kept going at its best all of the time. The minnows must have suitable places to breed, there must be an adequate supply of plants, etc. If one part of this food chain becomes reduced everything in the food chain above it is either checked in its growth or reduced in numbers. In order to raise fishes it is necessary that we know, not only what fishes eat but also how much they eat, and the number of pounds of fish a given amount of each of these foods will produce. Not only that but we must know how much of these foods is present in the various waters of the state. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah written by David D. Gillette and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 1999 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 52 papers in this vary in content from summaries or state-of-knowledge treatments, to detailed contributions that describe new species. Although the distinction is subtle, the title (Vertebrate Paleontology in Utah) indicates the science of paleontology in the state of Utah, rather than the even more ambitious intent if it were given the title “Vertebrate Paleontology of Utah” which would promise an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. The science of vertebrate paleontology in Utah is robust and intense. It has grown prodigiously in the past decade, and promises to continue to grow indefinitely. This research benefits everyone in the state, through Utah’s muse ums and educational institutions, which are the direct beneficiaries.
