Fish Histology: From Cells to Organs, 2nd Edition provides
up-to-date information that emphasizes the relationships and
concepts by which cell and tissue structures of fish are
inextricably linked with their function. The book also describes
the most recent development in the sciences of fish histology. The
first edition of this book was well received, and this updated and
improved edition includes five brand new chapters on the skeleton
of fishes, gas bladder and gas gland, endocrine system, nervous
system, and sensory system. Various staining procedures were used
in the second edition to enhance contrasts in samples. As a further
aid to learning, many new immunohistochemical and ultrastructural
images illustrate the text along with a particular emphasis on
tables that summarize the morphologic and functional features of
cells, tissues, and organs. The text and images for this edition
have been updated with the most current information available at
the time of publication. The volume begins with a concise
introduction into the histological techniques for fish sampling,
followed by an accurate up-to-date description of fish tissues. A
chapter is devoted to each organ and organ systems in the fish body
as well. In addition, the book includes over 270 diagrams, photos,
and illustrations to elucidate the structure of organs and to
enhance the usefulness of the text. Key features: Provides valuable
information on the histology of many species of teleosts Explores
cells at electron microscopic levels Illustrates the
characteristics of tissues and organs of fish with over 270 images,
most in color Highlights advances, trends, and applications in the
modern histological techniques and tissue preparations Focuses on
reproductive organs to provide new knowledge on reproductive
biology Includes new five chapters, on the Skeleton of Fish, Gas
Bladder and Gas Glands, Endocrine System, Nervous System, and
Sensory System, for a more complete coverage of Fish Histology. The
author has organized the book to present the information in a
user-friendly way to facilitate learning and comprehension. The
volume is designed for use by students as well as researchers,
biologists, ichthyologists, fish farmers, veterinarians working in
fisheries and, of course, by comparative histologists who want to
