Scientific Classification of the Telescope Eye
Definition: Scientific classification, or biological classification, is how biologists group and categorize species of organisms with shared physical characteristics. Scientific classification belongs to the science of taxonomy. Interesting Facts and Information - How do you identify the sex of a Telescope Eye?
The males and females of many fish species have different colors or different shaped bodies. But there are also other fish species where there is no visible difference. Its sometimes tricky being an ichthyologist!

The Telescope Eye has Dorsal fins to lend stability in swimming. Ventral fins. The ventral fin is located on the pelvic area of fishes. The Telescope Eye has Ventral fins to lend stability in swimming. Caudal fins. The Caudal fin is located on the tail area of fishes. The Telescope Eye has Caudal fins to propel through the water.
