The series "Fish Physiology" recently celebrated its 50th
Anniversary. In total, the editors of the series have produced a
total of 47 books (several volumes have two books) that contain
almost 500 chapters since the inaugural volume published in 1969.
The content of the "Fish Physiology" volumes has evolved over time.
The initial volumes were devoted to understanding the basic
mechanisms and principles of fish physiology, with a focus on a few
model species and some application to natural environmental
conditions. Then, as the field better understood mechanisms, the
approach was broadened to not only delve deeper into system
physiology (e.g., chapters in early volumes were expanded to become
books), but interspecific differences in physiology were explored,
permitting a more evolutionary framework. Finally, as interspecific
physiological mechanisms were further resolved, it became possible
to discuss physiology in light of a changing world. Thus,
physiology can now inform on conservation, sustainability and
management, as exemplified with the most recent volumes. This
anniversary issue celebrates the series by highlighting some of the
very important early work in the field that was published in the
Series. In particular, we wished to (re)introduce new researchers
to this research that has stood the test of time and that shaped
the field. Each re-published chapter is preceded by a short review
written by experts in the field to provide an overview/introduction
of each selected chapter, discuss what is particularly noteworthy
or important in the particular chapter, and discuss why in their
opinion this chapter has become a classic in its own right and how
it has inspired the field of fish physiology today?
