Following the success of the
bestselling third edition, this
newly updated and completely revised
fourth edition of The Physiology
of Fishes provides
comprehensive coverage of the most
important aspects of the form and
function of fishes. It covers the
most recent advances as well as
fundamental subjects such as
cardiovascular physiology,
intestinal transport, and gill ion
uptake. Written by an international
group of experts, this book contains
fresh approaches, with completely
new treatment of the original topics
and the addition of new chapters:
- Muscle plasticity
- Membranes and Metabolism
- Oxygen Sensing
- Endocrine Disruption
- Pain Perception
- Cardiac Regeneration
- Neuronal Regeneration
Two decades after the publication
of the first edition, this book
remains the only published
single-volume work on fish
physiology. Each chapter contains an
extensive bibliography, providing
readers with the best sources from
the primary literature. The fourth
edition provides an important
reference for aquatic biologists,
ichthyologists, fisheries
scientists, and comparative
physiologists.
