The Mesozoic period used to be a tremendous time within the evolution of elasmobranch and actinopterygian fishes since it was once then that almost all of the fashionable teams first entered the fossil list and started to radiate. by way of the tip of the period, many archaic varieties had disappeared and the root were laid for the ichthyofauna that now exists. regardless of this crucial evolutionary switch, there was little concerted learn performed on Mesozoic fishes and no synopsis or compilation of the systematics and paleoecology of Mesozoic fishes has been released, no longer even for unmarried teams. To therapy this deficiency, Gloria Arratia initiated the symposium "Mesozoic Fishes - Systematics and Paleoecology". Its target was once to compile paleontologists and different scientists learning Mesozoic fishes in order that they may well review present study and shape an lively learn crew to press the research forward.

The assembly generated fruitful discussions and new details that is helping to elucidate the process piscine evolution at an important time. Phylogenetic relationships of the various teams have been the relevant factor; yet realization used to be given additionally to questions of biostratigraphy, sensible anatomy, and the evolution of histological buildings. the result of the symposium provided during this volumen replicate the present country of data approximately Mesozoic fishes. the recent findings defined within the 36 papers and the disagreements between authors in regards to the phylogenetic relationships of the fishes they've got studied is a call for participation to additional examine.
