Morphological Bases of the Systematics and Phylogeny of the Nototheniid Fishes

摘要

The monograph is devoted to the classification and phylogeny of fishes of the subfamily Nototheniinae based on a study of the osteology, external morphology and analysis of the evolutionary changes of the morphological characteristics in the group comprising 31 species from the Subantarctic and Antarctic waters of the Southern Ocean. The subfamily has eight genera, two with six groups of species. The classification and phyletic links of the nototheniid subfamilies are discussed. (Copyright (c) 1989 Oxonian Press Pvt.
