Interest in fish biology continues to increase, particularly with international concern about the over-fishing of natural fish stocks and aquatic pollution on one hand, and the increasing interest in biodiversity and conservation of fish species and the rise of aquaculture on the other. An understanding of fish physiology and behaviour is viral to students, teachers and researchers in this enormously important areas of biology.
This excellent book provides an integrated approach to fish biology from a physiological and ecological viewpoint. It builds on a general background of fish diversity and environmental adaptations as well as discussing physiology, anatomy, ecology and behaviour. The author of the book, Malcolm Jobling, is internationally known and respected and has wide experience of teaching the subject of fish biology to students.
Environmental Biology of Fishes provides a clear summary of this important area, using an integrated approach that will be of great use to students taking courses and modules including fish biology, fisheries, aquaculture, environmental and comparative physiology, vertebrate biology, aquatic biosciences and ichthyology. The book will also be of great interest to postgraduates, researchers and professionals working in these areas.
