Beskrivning

Interest in fish biology continues to increase, particularly with international concerns on the overfishing of natural fish stocks and aquatic pollution on one hand and the increasing interest in the biodiversity and conservation of fish species and the rise of aquaculture on the other. An understanding of what fish do and how they do it is vital to students, teachers and researchers in this area. This book provides an integrated approach to fish biology from a physiological and ecological viewpoint, by building on a general background on fish diversity and the environmental adaptations in fish through a discussion of physiology, anatomy, ecology and behaviour.

'It is a book aimed at meeting the requirements of colleges and university students - a task it fulfills splendidly...this book is excellently well written and illustrated with 130 figures and 20 tables on 455 pages. Not only will students find pleasure in reading this book but anyone who has worked in specific fields of fish biology and is interested in fish and the question - 'how does it work?" Archive of Fishery and Marine Research 'This is a first class text for undergraduate level fish biology courses.' Aquaculture News 'This is a good, useful book. It really meets the requirements of college and university students, as is promised in the preface. And I would like to add that it also meets my requirements to brush up my knowledge and to help in teaching fisheries biology and ecology.' Limnologica '...this information-packed book is a very useful introduction to the environmental biology of fishes.' Aquaculture
