The Biology of Blennies
Blennies are diverse group of bony fishes found around the globe. Most blennies are small and somewhat difficult to identify, so until recently these fish did not occupy the interests of many ichthyologists and even fewer ecologists. With nearly 900 species, blennies are important members of most coastal marine communities. This book should stimula

Fish Nutrition
This third edition of Fish Nutrition is a comprehensive treatise on nutrient requirements and metabolism in major species of fish used in aquaculture or scientific experiments. It covers nutrients required and used in cold water, warm water, fresh water, and marine species for growth and reproduction. It also highlights basic physiology and biochemistry of the nutrients and applications of these principles to scientific and practical diet formulations and to manufacturing techniques for major species used worldwide in aquaculture.*Nutrient requirements for dietary formulations for fish farming*Digestive physiology*Comparative nutritional requirements of different species*Fish as unique animals for certain metabolic pathways
The Laboratory Fish
Provides interested readers with a current understanding of the biology of fishes as it relates to their utility in the laboratory.
Encyclopedia of Fish Physiology
Fish form an extremely diverse group of vertebrates. At a conservative estimate at least 40% of the world's vertebrates are fish. On the one hand they are united by their adaptations to an aquatic environment and on the other they show a variety of adaptations to differing environmental conditions - often to extremes of temperature, salinity, oxygen level and water chemistry. They exhibit an array of behavioural and reproductive systems. Interesting in their own right, this suite of adaptive physiologies provides many model systems for both comparative vertebrate and human physiologists. This four volume encyclopedia covers the diversity of fish physiology in over 300 articles and provides e...
The Physiology of Fishes, Second Edition
As in the bestselling first edition, The Physiology of Fishes, Second Edition is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art review of the major areas of research in modern fish physiology. This Second Edition is entirely revised, with 17 of the 18 chapters written by new authors. It also includes four entirely new chapters:
Cell Biology of Olfaction
The sense of smell is probably the most important sense to a large number of the animal species on Earth and the aim of the study of olfactory cell biology is to understand the cellular basis on which olfactory-driven behaviour is based. In this book the author presents a critical analysis of what is known about the olfactory sensory cells in both the nasal cavity and the vomeronasal organ. Although the emphasis is on mammalian olfaction, basic issues that have been addressed by research on other vertebrates and invertebrates are also discussed. Throughout the book the premise is that we can only more thoroughly comprehend normal behaviour and dysfunction once we have a detailed understanding of the cells and tissues involved in the sense of smell.
Food Intake in Fish
The intake of food by fishes is an area of study that is of great importance to the applied sciences of fisheries and aquaculture for a number of reasons. For example a thorough knowledge of factors influencing the ingestion of feed can lead to successful manipulation of the rearing environment of cultured fishes, thereby ensuring improved growth performance and feed utilisation, and decreasing the amount of waste (and consequent pollution) per unit of fish produced. This important book, which has arisen out of a European Union COST programme, illustrates how insights into the biological and environmental factors that underlie the feeding responses of fish may be used to address practical is...
