skeletal structure

Post by siluriphil »

Hi.


Do someone knows where I can find some Infos about the skeletal structure of corys?
I would like to know how the scientists distinguish the different genera. Some of the important things is the cranial bone, I guess.


Greetings,

If you just need something to familiarize yourself with catfish osteology, here is a good start.
