Synthesizing decades of work, but up-to-date, this book focuses on
organism-level responses to pollutants by marine animals, mainly
crustaceans, molluscs, and fishes. Emphasizing effects on
physiological processes (feeding/digestion, respiration,
osmoregulation), life-cycle (reproduction [including endocrine
disruption], embryo development, larval development, developmental
processes later in life (growth, regeneration, molting,
calcification, cancer), and behaviour, the book also covers
bioaccumulation and detoxification of contaminants, and the
development of tolerance. The major pollutants covered are metals,
organic compounds (oil, pesticides, industrial chemicals),
nutrients and hypoxia, contaminants of emerging concern, and ocean
acidification. Some attention is also devoted to marine debris and
noise pollution.
