Volume 22 of the Fish Physiology Series is entirely devoted to
fishes of high latitudes (Arctic and Antarctic). Three central
themes comprise the book:
The uniqueness of the physiology of fishes that live in cold polar
environments, a comparative analysis of physiological patterns
exemplified by fishes that live poles apart and, how fishes differ
from fishes living in more temperate and tropical habitats.
This book highlights the physiological adaptations that evolved to
allow certain fish to exploit the frigid, yet productive, Arctic
and Antarctic Oceans. The reader will explore what is known, as
well as what remains undiscovered, concerning the fish indigenous
to both polar regions. This will be of great interest to
physiologists, ichthyologists, and comparative biologists
researching low temperature biology, fishery scientists, faculty,
graduate students
* Offers an comparative analysis of the arctic and antarctic polar
marine environments
* Authors answer the question: What is special about the physiology
of fish from the stenothermal Arctic and Antarctic environments?
* Includes nine descriptive chapters, 40 tables and over 80 figures
