Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of studies on the anatomy and physiology of four North American fish species: the bowfin, the longnose gar, the American paddlefish, and the lake sturgeon. The author observed and described the respiratory mechanisms and transformations of these species in their varying life stages. These studies add to the understanding of the evolution and diversity of these fish species. The text also includes the author's detailed observations on the brains of these species, which he compares to those of other fish and vertebrates to establish homologies and differences. The author suggests that the brains of these fish species may hold important insights into the broader classification and relationships of fish-like vertebrates.
