Each organism has its own internal biological clock, which is reset
by environmental cues (Zeitgebers), thus keeping it synchronized
with the external environment. It is a chemically based oscillating
system within cells, relying on molecular feedback loops. Circadian
biological clocks exist in most organisms. What is so special about
the clock in fish? Where is it located-in the retina, inside the
brain, or in the pineal? What is the molecular basis of its
function? How is the clock able to keep time in the absence of
environmental cues? Although biological clocks have been
intensively studied over the past four decades, only recently have
the tools needed to examine the molecular basis of circadian
rhythms become available. This book reviews the state of knowledge
in sufficient detail and presents the latest contributions to the
field, showing fish provide a unique model of the circadian
biological clock.
