Ichthyologist

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyologist
"Ichthyology (from Greek: ἰχθυ, ikhthu, "fish"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is the branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish. This includes skeletal fish (Osteichthyes), cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes), and jawless fish (Agnatha). An estimated 25,000 fish species exist, comprising a majority of vertebrates. While a majority of species have probably been discovered and described, approximately 250 new species are officially described by science each year.

The practice of ichthyology is associated with marine biology and limnology."

Yes a zoologist would be a possible answer.. Actual you can call them Animal Scientists too..However there are other names too * Anthropologists study human beings. * Entomologists study insects. * Herpetologists study reptiles and amphibians. * Ichthyologists specialize in fish. * Malacologists study mollusks, like snails and clams. * Mammalogists specialize in mammals. * Nematologists study round worms. * Ornithologists study birds. * Ethologists study animal behavior. And I'm sure that's not complete.. but a zoologist is a great start, because it is the most general.

Zoologist is correct in the broadest sense. Most professionals are experts or specialist in a certain field or animal or taxonomic classification. An entomologist studies bugs and insects. But a Coleopterologist is a beetle expert. An ichthyologist studies fish. But an ichthyologist can be either a marine or freshwater ichthyologist.

Fish physiologist. Or fisheries biologist (for fisheries related). Or fish biologist.

If they're in another field (like behaviour), usually they go by a different term, from my experience.
