Key for the identification of common fishes and morphometric measurements are given in chapter 9. For better understanding of the subject solved and unsolved exercises have also been included in each chapter. Experiments have been written in a manner that it will reduce life time required for instruction at the beginning of each exercise and thus to make more time available for the actual experiments. The book is written in simple and easily understandable language and will be much useful for masters level as well as for young researchers thus it should be of invaluable help to the students researchers and to all those interested in the fisheries science.</span><br></p>
