Greetings. I'm working towards a PhD in mathematics, and I have the "learn everything for no reason" bug as well. I've been on a marine biology binge for a while.
I have no interest in fish and even after watching almost all of AVNJ's videos I'm still kinda afraid of the ocean. That being said there is nothing I'm more hyped for right now than these videos
These lessons are helping me out so much with my Marine Biology degree. Thanks for doing these! They are really fun to watch and I now get to be really nerdy to my friends and family! Thanks for all your doing and I am excited to see more of these videos! 🐠🐟❤️
The book I recommended and used as a guide for this class is called: "Caillet, G.M., M.S. Love and A.W. Ebeling. 1996. Fishes: A Field and Laboratory Manual on Their Structure, Identification and Natural History." Great read to learn this information.
I got the notebook and I'm going to write the important things Some people pay people to be on a class like this and his doing all for free which makes Zack awesome
Thank you so much for this course, normally I would never would have learned that much about fish, but after finding this channel and watching for the last while I am realizing how great fish are. I really believe this kind of access to information could help conservation if enough people can see it.
The more I learn about the term fish the more I realize it's like "beast" or "creature" in that almost completely unrelated animals get slapped with the same label.
I really think I was supposed to be a fish biologist, but now I'm stuck studying Graphic Design (which I also like tho...). These videos are going to be amazing for me.
First off, truly love that you're doing these classes. It's really cool, and I'm going into palaeontology as a job, so learning about the more ancient fish was really cool for me. Second, will we be looking at specifics of each group in later classes?
I haven’t decided if we will do a list of like 200 families just speed run for one of the lectures or not. As far as my current plan goes, this is the last we talk about classification, and we now move into all the forms, functions, and behaviors
Although my main interest lies within paleontology, I very much enjoy studying these videos (even though I'm quite late to all of this) thanks for dedicating the time and energy to these videos.
Bro. I love you for making these. I have a love (obsession) for fish and marine biology in general. I’ve watched and loved all your videos, but these are my favorites.
This video was actually really helpful, I can’t wait for the next episode. Even though I may not understand it fully it’s a good start and thank you for the resource.
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing this with us. Natural World Facts on TH-cam did an amazing video about jawless and cartilaginous fish recently, I feel so cool that I recognize some of them in your presentation!
Binging all these vids before I go to the aquarium for my birthday so I flex my knowledge. It is my goal to travel around and go to the local aquarium of all the places I travel too
Not gonna lie, I never had any sort of interest in fish AT ALL to say the least, I'm a math guy, but somehow I started watching your videos, then I binged all of the channel, and now I'm here excited for a lecture I would never thought to see, and hyped for the next one
Hi I've been a fan for a couple months now but just got around to watching this! I love it so far! I just feel like having the basic anatomy before taxonomy would've helped in distinguishing adaptations gained in the different taxa
fishes is the correct plural when talking about multiple different species, fish is the correct plural when talking about multiple individuals of one species
Love your content, man. My career in game design, which has nothing to do with fish. However, for some reason, your presentation makes it just that more interesting to learn about different types of fish. Also, watched your previous video on lantern fish and found it hilarious that these mf's basically had their own superorder.
i'm a bit late to the party but, i've always wanted to ask what really separated the helicoprion from being more related to sharks since the fossils we found of it were probably all teeth, and probably the difference between ratfish and sharks in general and why they're a separate group
This is really cool! Would you recommend watching the video through twice so that you can know how to properly format your notes or take notes as things happen so that you can write down everything that seems important as it happens and you can make sure you write down everything you don't know?
challenging my tdah learning abt fish, this is not what i expected to be doing today. i mean distraction here and there, i might have taken hours to see the video but either ways really cool that youre making this for free
You can remember agnathans and gnathostomes because it's like gnash, the song Lamborghini Mercy is what I think of "it is a weeping and a moaning and a gnashing of teeth" or also the word gnaw which is most likely related to the same ancient word that became gnat like the little flying insects. Fuck I'm a nerd
could you post the citation for the pages shown from the nelson Ichthyology textbook pls currently writing up an assignment for my zoology animal management degree and it would help a lot. Thank you very much, awesome series, really enjoying, rewatching this part to help me write up the taxonomy section of my assignment (Its on the Anguila anguilla btw).
OK, much though I enjoy your reaction videos, now you're in the territory that interests me (because I have no life. Surprisingly I DO have friends although many of them have no lives and are just as nerdy as I am.) It's not just about the icthyology though. Etymology!! Woo-hoo!! Bring on the Latin and Greek!
Actual legend, he truly loves his work, he’s providing a whole course for free
He has inspired me to become a marine biologist he’s the best TH-camr I’ve ever watched
@@maddoxn5018 Not sure about that, have you seen Charlie bit my Finger? That shIt's FUNNY!

Fish

Me: *currently studying a Bachelor’s in Modern Languages*
Also me: Ah, yes, fish. I must learn everything for no reason.
more money in fish, follow your nose.
If you have your heart in language, follow your interests, you have one life, no point in living a life that you feel like you’ve wasted

I love watching your videos, but these informational lessons are great for rides to and from work! Thank you for what you do!

i love these lessons because my vet class doesnt cover any fish :(
I am realizing that if I had a fish, I wouldn't even know when to bring it to the vet
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 if the fish coughs!

Do you have any good reading on ichthyology? Really appreciate the series man, second video is fire.
The book I recommended and used as a guide for this class is called: "Caillet, G.M., M.S. Love and A.W. Ebeling. 1996. Fishes: A Field and Laboratory Manual on Their Structure, Identification and Natural History."
Great read to learn this information.
@@AVNJ Is it available to read online anywhere?
This is honestly just really cool. Why can’t actual teachers be like this?
I got the notebook and I'm going to write the important things
Some people pay people to be on a class like this and his doing all for free which makes Zack awesome
I've been looking forward to this all week!
Thank you so much for this course, normally I would never would have learned that much about fish, but after finding this channel and watching for the last while I am realizing how great fish are.

I’m absolutely in love with this course thing you’re doing. Please keep uploading these for as long as you’re able!
Thanks for the lesson professor AVNJ I appreciate you
The more I learn about the term fish the more I realize it's like "beast" or "creature" in that almost completely unrelated animals get slapped with the same label.
Thank you for giving free information and for giving people interest in marine biology!
"Everything from here on out is going to have a jaw."
Anteaters: "Can we have a jaw?"
Yes, but it won't do anything.
This serie is amazing! You don’t know how much it means to have such accessible interesting courses! Thank you soooo much
I absolutely love these videos! I've always been interested in fish and it's so nice to be able to get these lessons for free. Thanks for this!
Thank god he din't give us homework.
I really think I was supposed to be a fish biologist, but now I'm stuck studying Graphic Design (which I also like tho...). These videos are going to be amazing for me.
I learned more from watching this guy for fun than I have in all of high school and 2 years of college
My teacher played what is a fish that's how I found your channel
Yooo really? What class?
@@AVNJ science
I love this series and this video,cause I think all fish(except seahorse ) are just so unqiue and interesting,also I wish yall are having a great day.

As much as I love that this exists, some of the pronunciations for the different taxa is something else...
dude you are fire ,providing all of that knoledge free of charge , some people would make you pay for stuff like this but no,you are amazing
I’m loving this stuff keep it up man.
Yay a teacher being a teacher
I love how in the middle of the video you can *faintly* hear a dog bark
My note pad is full, amazing once again
Bro I legit just yelled I love chondrichryhys
I love your videos, and these, are amazing. So glad you're spreading the word of icthyology!
I wanted to become a fish biologist the moment i found your channel lol
Also this is really quality content
I'm loving this one even more than the other lessons, because I am still in the progress of learning taxonomy, this is incredibly helpful, thanks!
Another top tier video from what has quickly become one of my favorite channels recently!
Crabzilla would be proud ^^
I can't wait for the icthyology lessom about Crabzilla!
Bro. I love you for making these. I have a love (obsession) for fish and marine biology in general. I’ve watched and loved all your videos, but these are my favorites.
I love sturgeon they're so neat. Thanks so much for this series!!
Not me watching this video instead of working on assignments for my 300 level college classes
For some reason, listening to these videos helps me sleep. I dunno why, but at this point, I'll take it.
You forgot the Crabzilla subdivision.
but seriously, keep up the good work. I love theses vids and they're really informative
Me studying microbial taxonomy rn: Dang I have an exam in a week
Fish lord: 🐟🐠🐡🦈
Me: Cartilaginousness is an apomorphic trait in Chondrostei. Got it.
i can’t wait for the sturgeonzilla lesson
This video was actually really helpful, I can’t wait for the next episode. Even though I may not understand it fully it’s a good start and thank you for the resource.
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing this with us. Natural World Facts on TH-cam did an amazing video about jawless and cartilaginous fish recently, I feel so cool that I recognize some of them in your presentation!
After i finished the lesson, I just downloaded a fish encylopedia and a fish textbook to read sometime. Keep up the great lessons!
Love how we just get basically a free courses, this stuff is very confusing well hard to remember tho
Binging all these vids before I go to the aquarium for my birthday so I flex my knowledge. It is my goal to travel around and go to the local aquarium of all the places I travel too
i really love these videos. thanks to you i got super interested into fish and now i actually get to learn about them in such a great way
Waited all week, im HYPED ❤️🐟
Just incredible work, thank you!
Thanks for continuing the series it's very well done and provides a lot of information
One thing though:
Gnathos is actually Greek not Latin
ichthyology is honest quite an interesting topic so thanks for getting me interested in it
Not gonna lie, I never had any sort of interest in fish AT ALL to say the least, I'm a math guy, but somehow I started watching your videos, then I binged all of the channel, and now I'm here excited for a lecture I would never thought to see, and hyped for the next one
Yeah, fish is made out of fish
Sharks:
Hmm, getting a bit to high up for my liking

Thank you for this informative video... so much thankful for this.
I missed lesson one, did someone right down notes for me?
Oh! I think you're looking for the English classroom. Just down and to the write!
Fish
His entire career is based around fish yet he still says "fishes" XD XD XD
fishes is the correct plural when talking about multiple different species, fish is the correct plural when talking about multiple individuals of one species
what's so funny about him being professional and using the correct plural?
Love your content, man. My career in game design, which has nothing to do with fish.

I really wish this series got more views
These are actually so fun omg
Why did I click on this
I didn't even search for it...
Anyway amazing video!
fish are cool :>
Yay! The lanternfishes were there
i'm a bit late to the party but, i've always wanted to ask what really separated the helicoprion from being more related to sharks since the fossils we found of it were probably all teeth, and probably the difference between ratfish and sharks in general and why they're a separate group
gotta love these kinds of vids, so informative.
I have 0 interest in fish, just love to listen to you talk. Always been fascinated with people that are very knowledgable in their fields
This is really cool! Would you recommend watching the video through twice so that you can know how to properly format your notes or take notes as things happen so that you can write down everything that seems important as it happens and you can make sure you write down everything you don't know?
I’m watching this in a english class so I can learn something important
I got back from Uni only to find a course not offered at my school completely for free??? absolutely legendary.
challenging my tdah learning abt fish, this is not what i expected to be doing today. i mean distraction here and there, i might have taken hours to see the video but either ways really cool that youre making this for free
Broke: advanced, primitive
Woke: derived, basal
Are there rules about dating the professor in this class???
Sleeping with the teacher is strictly..... allowed for you. Automatic A+
I like the professionalism 👍🏻
I don't have much interested in itchyology, but still I watch this video's because of Knowledge
Loving this series.
You can remember agnathans and gnathostomes because it's like gnash, the song Lamborghini Mercy is what I think of "it is a weeping and a moaning and a gnashing of teeth" or also the word gnaw which is most likely related to the same ancient word that became gnat like the little flying insects. Fuck I'm a nerd
Not me intensively researching what glossohyl teeth are 😭
Thank you so much for your great work
Uh required textbooks? Come on Zak I thought you were cool 😂😂
It doesn't have much to do with the vid but I had a fish question that came to my mind:
Do we know why did mudskippers terrestrialised?
Afaik it's because their environment sometimes dries up or gets choked with weeds.
THank you for doing this.
could you post the citation for the pages shown from the nelson Ichthyology textbook pls currently writing up an assignment for my zoology animal management degree and it would help a lot. Thank you very much, awesome series, really enjoying, rewatching this part to help me write up the taxonomy section of my assignment (Its on the Anguila anguilla btw).
Thank you fish daddy
I love these videos :)
I need more of this please 🙏
I love my major but we spend sooooo much time on mammals and humans
Love ur vids bro
Could you look into the sounds that get recorded in the ocean that sound weird, I genuinely want to know what those could possibly be
ha ha crabzilla joke ha ha crabzilla real ha ha funny laugh now
OK, much though I enjoy your reaction videos, now you're in the territory that interests me (because I have no life. Surprisingly I DO have friends although many of them have no lives and are just as nerdy as I am.) It's not just about the icthyology though. Etymology!! Woo-hoo!! Bring on the Latin and Greek!
Thanks for doing this.
Crazy to think that everything that has a jaw is named Nathan
Taxonomy is cool.
Zack, if coelacanths just have a notochord but both tetrapods and modern bony fish have spines, is this a convergent evolution?
Most likely a veterbrate ancestor came along before the first land faring fish diverged from other fish
after finding ur channel i no longer have any special interests only fish.
From the alpha to the last update
Feesh
I finished reading The Diversity of Fishes. What now?
Keep it up, awesome work!
