Study on biological and ecological characteristics of mudskippers

Abstract

Fish are the most diverse and numerous group of vertebrates in the world. This indicates the importance of fish among vertebrates in biodiversity and evolutionary studies since they exhibit morphological, physiological, and behavioural adaptations (Sattari 2003). Access to biological and ecological information on fish stocks can be very helpful in understanding the status of fish in the future. In other words, the ecological data presented on the status of fish species in aquatic ecosystems can be highly effective in directing and achieving management-protection policies in the future. Hence, this information can be used by experts and fishery managers
