The paper is a review of those aspects of the life and scientific activities of Artedi and Linnaeus which are immediately related to the creation of their classifications of fishes and scientific ichthyological nomen clature. A short comparative analysis of Artedi’s and Linnaeus’s publications is done to retrace the development of the fish classification from «Ichthyologia» by Artedi (1738) to 10th and 12th editions of «Systema Naturae» by Linnaeus (1758, 1766–1767).
