Summary "A Guide to the Study of Fishes, Volume 1" by David Starr Jordan is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores ichthyology, specifically focusing on the biology, anatomy, and various aspects of fish life. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of fishes both for technical students and nature enthusiasts. The opening of this volume introduces the reader to the concept of fish, using the Long-eared Sunfish ("Lepomis megalotis") as a primary example. It describes the physical characteristics, such as body shape and gills, and explains how fish navigate their aquatic environment, including details of their breathing, feeding mechanisms, and reproductive habits. This introductory chapter sets the tone for a detailed exploration of fish biology while also engaging the reader with inviting descriptions of fish observation and interaction in natural settings.
