Since September 2015, Ds.b docent. M.Sh. Rakhimov has been working as the head of the department.
The Department of Zoology is located on the 3rd floor of the Faculty of Biology of the National University of Uzbekistan named after Mirzo Ulugbek.
The Department of Zoology was originally divided into two departments - the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and the Department of Vertebrate Zoology. The Department of Zoology was established in 2005 by the merger of the Department of Invertebrate Zoology (SCI) and the Department of Vertebrate Zoology. From the time of establishment of the department until 2010 prof. IK Kadyrov was in charge. In 2010, the Department of Zoology was renamed the Department of Zoology and Ichthyology. From 2010 to November 2015, the department was headed by Ph.D. GA Abdurahmanova. Since September 2015, Associate Professor M.Sh. Rakhimov has been working as the head of the department.
The Department of Invertebrate Zoology was founded in 1920 at the initiative of A.L. Brodsky. From 1920 to 1941 the department was headed by A.L. Brodsky. A.L. Brodsky in 1920 participated in the study of the fauna of the Syrdarya and Aral Sea, the Southern Tien Shan and created several works. Among them are “Корненожки Иссик кулья”, “Методы анализа почвенных простейших”, “Микрофауна хлопковых полей Узбекистана”, “Protozoa почвы и их роль в почвенных процессах”, “Корненожки Средней Азии” and others.
From 1941 to 1986 the department was headed by Ds.b prof. Headed by AT Tulaganov. AT Tulaganov is a scientist who founded the School of Phytohelminthology in Uzbekistan, has created more than 100 scientific works and more than 15 monographs. Including «Растениеядные и почвенные нематоды Узбекистана» Tashkent, 1949; «Нематоды растений и почв Узбекистана» Tashkent, 1972. «Фитонематоды Узбекистана» Tashkent, 1975. Volume 1., 1978. Volume 2. The scientist is a full correspondent member of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, winner of the Beruni State Prize.
In 1986-1997 the department was headed by PhD prof. Z.N Norboev headed. The scientist has prepared 2 textbooks, more than 10 teaching aids. “Practical training in invertebrate zoology” (Tashkent, 1991) is one of them
The department of vertebrate zoology was founded in 1920 by prof. D.N Kashkarov. D.N Kashkarov study fauna of Central Asia, and crated textbook of vertebrate ecology; «Птицы Узбекистана» 1987. Том 1., 1990 Том 2.
From 1935 to 1981 the department of vertebrate zoology was headed by zoologist-ecologist TZ Zoxidov. The scientist was an academician of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, winner of the Beruni State Prize, Honored Scientist. He has created many scientific works. Including «Природа и животный мир Средней Азии» 1969. Том 1, 1971. Том 2., «Биоценозы пустыни Кызылкум» 1971., Энциклопедия ўзбек тилида «Сут эмизувчилар» 1960. Том 1., «Судралиб юрувчилар» 1969. Том 2., «Балиқлар» 1979. Том 3., «Қушлар»1987. Том 1., «Зоология энциклопедияси» 1979
In 1981-2005, the department was headed by Ds. Prof. I.K Kodirov. IK Kadyrov published textbooks for students in Uzbek "Histology", "Human Anatomy", first in Cyrillic and then in Latin. In particular, "Human Anatomy". Toshkent.Chinor 2003.
1998-2005 йилларда кафедрага б.ф.н. доц. Б.А. Мўминов рахбарлик қилган. Улар бир қанча китоблар яратган “Биологик хилма-хиллик: атама ва таърифлар” (қисқача луғат ўзбек ва рус тилларида) (Тошкент, 2002); Умуртқасизлар зоологиясидан амалий машғулотлар.Ў/қ. Тошкент, 2005.
In 2010, the Department of Zoology was renamed the Department of Zoology and Ichthyology. From 2010 to November 2015, the department was headed by Ph.D. GA Abdurahmanova.
Subjects taught at the department in a separate view for bachelors and masters
| № | subjects | Information of subjects |
| Master | ||
| 1 | ZOOGEOGRAPHY 5А140108-Zoology 5А140103- Ichthyology and hydrobiology | The science of zoogeography allows us to study the species composition and other characteristics of the fauna in each region of the fauna, which are important in nature and human life, by studying the geographical distribution of fauna on earth and the general laws of this distribution. |
| 2 | MOLECULAR ZOOLOGY 5А140108-Zoology 5А140103-Ichthyology and hydrobiology | Applied molecular zoology is a new branch of zoology that opens up great possibilities for studying the evolution of the animal kingdom. It has led to a whole revolution that requires a reconsideration of the kinship relationships between previously studied species. It should be noted that molecular genetics deepened the understanding of the evolution of organisms and the mechanisms of heredity, and eventually laid the foundations for molecular systematics and phylogenetics. |
| 3 | ENTOMOLOGY 5А140108-Zoology | There are no organism on earth that are equal to insects in terms of number, distribution, adaptation to conditions, and rapid reproduction. Therefore, insects are of great importance in nature and in human life. Insects are very important in pollinating flowering plants, breaking down the remains of plant and animal organisms, damaging cultivated plants, spreading infectious diseases, and damaging materials, clothing, utensils, and buildings. The science of entomology provides the initial knowledge in the comprehensive study of insects |
| 4 | GENERAL PARASITOLOGY 5А140108-Zoology | Knowledge of parasites, parasitic organisms and their origin, parasite-host relationships, adaptation of parasites to life, understanding of parasites' life cycles play an important role in the fight against parasitic diseases. |
| 5 | FISH DISEASES 5А140101 - Biology (Zoology, Ichthyology and Hydrobiology) | The main task of the science is to teach students infectious diseases and pathogens of fish, symptoms, clinic, diagnosis, epizootology; directions of fight against fish diseases - preventive and curative measures; alimentary diseases of fish and their causes; the scientific basis of the fight against fish diseases; teaching the importance of fish diseases in agriculture and fisheries on the basis of modern pedagogical technologies. |

| 8 | GENERAL HYDROBIOLOGY 5А140101 - Biology (Zoology, Ichthyology and Hydrobiology) | The main objectives of this science are to assess the ecology of water bodies of Uzbekistan, taking into account the biology of hydrobionts, ie phyto- and zooplankton, benthos, seasonal development, and the widespread use of hydrobiological equipment and technical means. It teaches that aquatic organisms play a huge and diverse role in human life, and that biological resources in the world's oceans, seas, rivers and inland waters play an important role in human nutrition. |

The role of birds in the ecosystem pays special attention to the comparative problems of ornithology, important problems such as human modification of ornithofauna, adaptation (adaptability) of birds. During the course, the national achievements of Central Asian ornithology will be widely used, and master's students will be provided with new information about the importance of modern pedagogical technologies in agriculture and the national economy. |

Museum exposition and scientific fund
The exposition consists of vertebrates and invertebrates.
There are 180 chuchelas of 19 species and 98 species of birds;
There are 30 mammals belonging to 10 genera. 15 pairs of horns of ungulates are preserved.
Wet preparations of fish, amphibians and reptiles are stored in 230 glass cylinders.
