The fifth edition of my book "Fishes of the world", 2012, will present the latest in systematic treatment of all higher-level fish groups, both fossil and living. The detailed classification showing genealogical relationships of various groups will be useful to biologists requiring a modern classification of fishes showing their biodiversity, e.g., those who seek to understand the evolutionary origin of any feature, whether it be e. g., a skeletal, life history, physiological, or behavioral trait. Currently, there is much new information on extant (with morphological and molecular based phylogenies) and fossil material and there is a very high rate of new information, making a revision for 2012 for this widely used book very timely. This critical synthesis is also important in training highly qualified personnel because the classification (with its many references to uncertainties and alternate proposals) used in past editions of this book are used, either directly or indirectly from other sources using my classification, by teachers of courses in ichthyology or fish biology.

我的书“世界鱼类”的第五版，2012年，将呈现最新的系统处理所有高级鱼类，包括化石和生活。显示不同种群的谱系关系的详细分类对需要对鱼类进行现代分类以显示其生物多样性的生物学家非常有用，例如，那些试图了解任何特征的进化起源的生物学家，无论是骨骼、生活史、生理还是行为特征。目前，关于现存（以形态和分子为基础的系统发生）和化石材料的新信息很多，新信息的比率很高，对这本被广泛使用的书进行2012年的修订是非常及时的。这种批判性的综合对于培养高素质的人才也很重要，因为在本书的过去版本中使用的分类（包含许多不确定性和替代建议的参考）被鱼类学或鱼类生物学课程的教师直接或间接地从使用我的分类的其他来源使用。
