Series: Marine Biology
Description
A must-have general reference in fish physiology, the fourth edition of The Physiology of Fishes presents chapters on the latest advancements in fish physiology written by leaders in these areas. Like its predecessors, this new edition provides a comprehensive review of current and classic topics in modern fish physiology. It is entirely revised with all new chapters to cover new directions in the field. The fourth edition continues the tradition of having extensive chapter bibliographies to serve as a springboard for more advanced research.
Reviews
Praise for the third edition:
"The new edition of The Physiology of Fishes seems likely to continue the trend of the two previous editions that have each been regarded at the time as the best single reference text for fish physiology …. The multi-author approach of The Physiology of Fishes works well in providing detailed reviews with a high level of insight. … Overall, The Physiology of Fishes provides a series of stimulating and valuable reviews that emphasize future directions for research."
—Anne Brown, University of Exeter & Aquatonics Ltd, Journal of Fish Biology, March 2007, 70
“The book contains chapters on locomotion, feeding, respiration, the cardiovascular system, gas transport, ion and acid-base regulation, temperature, endocrinology, stress, reproduction, hearing, electrobiology, chemoreception, and three essays on new technologies. … it will be ideal for graduate students who have already mastered the concepts and language of comparative physiology. For fish biologists whose days of coursework are over, it will be a valuable resource and reference.”
—Stephen D McCormick, Conte Anadromous Fish Research Center, in The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 82, No. 2, June 2007
Praise for the second edition:
“This book continues to be the best single-volume, general reference to fish physiology. It is a worthwhile investment.”
—Malcolm S. Gordon, University of California, Los Angeles
