Introdução à taxonomia de peixes

Taxonomy is the branch of biology responsible for naming living organisms and if you know the main rules, it's easy to understand how useful it can be for anyone's everyday life! In this video I talk a bit about some rules of zoological nomenclature, the suffixes used for the main taxonomic categories, the L code (used for plecos) and I introduce the relationship of the main groups of ray-finned fishes. This class is part of a course offered by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN): "Commercial Production of Ornamental Fish": https://novoscaminhos.ufrn.br/.
