		An ichthyologist is a person who studies the approximately 25,000 to 30,000 species of bony fish, sharks, rays, and lobe-finned fish in marine and fresh water.
		An ichthyologist's job in an aquarium might include maintaining and keeping animals, developing exhibits, educating the public, conducting research on captive breeding, and performing other duties involved in maintaining live aquatic animal populations.
		Ichthyologists with a bachelor's degree and no experience can expect a starting salary in the range of $16,000 to $24,000.

	How can I become an ichthyologist
		Being an ichthyologist is often physically and mentally demanding, and involves having to develop skills beyond the narrow confines of being a scientist, like learning to skipper a boat, or learning to SCUBA dive.
		To be an ichthyologist one should be curious and adventurous, self-motivated and innovative, be able to work alone, be observant and methodical, as well as ‘open-minded and capable of lateral thinking … to find solutions when none seem to exist’, says Ofer Gon, Marine Scientist at the JLB Smith Institute of Ichthyology.
		Ichthyologists in research and teaching posts are employed in museums, universities and research institutes.

		In November 1976, ichthyologist Leighton Taylor had the first known specimen conveniently delivered to his front lawn at the Waikiki Aquarium, where he was curator of fishes at the time.
		In 1980, fellow ichthyologist John McCosker and artist-author Richard Ellis were visiting Taylor in Honolulu and - since Taylor's long-awaited paper still had not appeared - they got to wondering what the hold-up was.
		Randall is a distinguished ichthyologist who has described many new species of fishes with Japanese colleagues and - to add irony to injury - had for many years been curator of fishes at the Bishop Museum, also in Honolulu.

		Academy ichthyologist Tomio Iwamoto joined this international team to search for new specimens from a group of deep-sea fishes called grenadiers, or rattails, which are related to codfish.
		Aboard a research vessel for four weeks, Iwamoto and the rest of the team used trawling nets to survey bottom-dwelling life at depths ranging from 200-1200 meters.

		In 1839-1840, the ichthyologist Richard Parnell left London for a collecting expedition to Jamaica and a tour of museum collections in the United States.
		An authority on both fishes and grasses, Parnell published two noted works as a young man, his Prize Essay on the Natural and Economical History of the Fishes Marine, Fluviatile, and Lacustrine, of the River District of the Firth of Forth (Edinburgh: Neill and Co., 1838) and The Grasses of Britain, 2 vols.
		Although collecting localities are seldom recorded, the majority of specimens seem to have been collected in Jamaica, with at least a few observed in vitro at the New York Museum.

	Dr. Stanley Weitzman: the interview
		My career as a collector has not been nearly so voluminous as some ichthyologists, but except for a large number of collecting experiences in California, and Oregon (both fresh water and marine) nearly all my tropical collecting has been in freshwater in Latin America, including Mexico, Venezuela, Costa Rica, and especially Brazil.
		One would be as just as an ichthyologist and the second and third as an aquarist/ichthyologist.
		The first has nothing to do with freshwater tropicals, but has to do with a study of the evolutionary relationships of a group of deep-sea light organ fishes published in 1974 in a paper 150 pages long.
