Download or read book Fishes of the Gulf of Mexico Vol 1 written by John McEachran and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 1128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gulf of Mexico is the ninth largest body of water in the world and contains over 15 percent of all known species of marine fishes. This diverse fish fauna has been the subject of many publications, but, until now, no work has ever surveyed all known species, including the deep sea fishes and those of the southern Gulf. This book is the first of two volumes that will cover the entire fish fauna of the Gulf of Mexico. An introductory section that outlines the Gulf's geographical setting, geological origin, current patterns, tides, sediments, meteorology, ecology, and biological exploration is followed by a key for the forty-four orders of fishes known from the Gulf. Keys and descriptions are provided for families, which are arranged phylogenetically, and for the species, which are arranged alphabetically, described, and distinguished from similar species. All but a few species are illustrated.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work presented here is divided into two major parts. The part on systematics presents a review of literature on Bathyteuthis, detailed descriptions of B. abyssicola and two newly named species, determination of the familial relationships of the Bathyteuthidae, an analysis of Ctenopteryx and Bathyteuthis to determine the validity of their inclusion in the same family. The second part is a study of the distribution of Bathyteuthis. The bathymetric and geographic ranges of the species are established, and the physicochemical and biological factors that govern these distributions are analyzed.
