Taxonomy of aquatic species
More than 1.5 million species of living organisms known to exist
System developed to classify animals plants and other living things
Taxonomy – system of ranging organisms into groups; a.k.a. scientific classification
Based on relationships between living things
Also referred to as systematics

Early scientific classification systems classify all living organisms as the plant or animal
Single celled organisms also classified into one of the two kingdoms
Modern classification systems have six kingdoms
Kingdoms
Phylum or Division
Class
Order
Family
Genus - Species

Organisms become progressively similar moving from Kingdom to Species
kingdom is broadest group – species is most specific group
Most classifications are further differentiated by sub or super categories

• A variety is a group of related organisms within a species with some unique characteristics but whose differences are not great enough to warrant another species.
• Involves breeding selected individuals with desired traits
• Most often applied to plants including terrestrial and aquatic

A strain is a group of organisms developed with similar trades to achieve a desire to go
Have a common background and are not taxonomically distinct the other members of species
Members of a strained our distinguished from the basis of productivity, vigor, resistance to disease or environmental problems, some other characteristics
Most often applied to fish and other aquatic animals

A breed is a group of animals of the same species with distinct and similar features that are passed on to offspring
• Often emerge from careful efforts to develop unique organisms within a species
• Particularly important with agricultural animals such as hogs and cattle
• Increasingly important in improving aquatic animals such as fish
• Particular bloodlines may one day be known as breeds

A taxonomic name is the scientific name of organism based on its genius and species
Written in italics or underlined
Usually only the first letter of the first word of the name is capitalized
Tilapia:
Order – Perciformes
Family – Cichlidae
Genus – Tilapia
Species – aurea
Taxonomic name: Tilapia aurea

All freshwater, salt water, and practitioner water fish, ornamental fish, baitfish, they’re important to aquaculture belonged in the class Osteichthyes.
All members have skeletons with true bones, a skull with sutures, teeth (if present) usually fused to the bones, nasal openings on each side, premaxillae and maxillae, and a swim bladder or a functional lungs.
This order sometimes known as bony fish or finfish
