To our parents, for their encouragement of our nascent interest in things biological;
To our spouses Janice, RuthEllen, Sara, and Judy for their patience and understanding during the production of this volume;
And to students, colleagues, and fish lovers for their efforts to preserve biodiversity for future generations.

Thank you to all who helped make the first two editions of The Diversity of Fishes successful. We greatly appreciate the feedback and suggestions from those who have used them. And to those who have been asking us about an update thanks for your patience. Here is what you can expect in the third edition.

• We have done our best to update information while recognizing that no textbook can represent the most current information in any large field. This book is intended as a starting point, not the final destination. Therefore, we encourage those using the text to consult more current sources for updated information.
• This edition includes more color photographs to better demonstrate the diversity and beauty of fishes that attract many to the field. We include photographs from public agencies, in part to acknowledge the valuable contributions to Ichthyology of those in natural resources and management organizations.
• Reorganization and consolidation of some topics has reduced the total number of chapters to 22.
• Each chapter begins with a Summary that provides a broad overview of the content of that chapter. This may be particularly useful for those using the text for a course and who do not intend to utilize some chapters in detail students can read the summary of each of those chapters.
• Molecular genetics has transformed many aspects of ichthyology over the last few decades, and this is reflected throughout the text. Important concepts are introduced in , supported by an Appendix of terminology at the end of the book, and specific contributions of molecular genetics to the field of ichthyology are included in many chapters.
• Structure and function are addressed together rather than treated in separate chapters. For example, addresses structure and function of the trunk (e.g. bones, muscles, integument, scales, fins, locomotion).
