This volume aims to review and present recent research on acid
waters and their effects on aquatic animals. Starting initially
with the environment in order to assess why the problems have
arisen in particular areas, the volume then deals with field and
survival studies on invertebrates and vertebrates and examines the
extent of the biological problem and the attempts which have been
made to relate water quality and the susceptibility of animals.
Major advances in this area have included the realisation that
declining populations are often the result of acid waters and their
interactions with traces of other ions and that these situations
produce the most severe physiological problems. The natural
progression of environmental and field studies, toxicity and
survival tests provide the background information for the
physiological studies which follow. These form the major component
of the book and they seek to analyse the toxic effects of acid
waters and trace metals on acid - base balance, respiration, ionic
balance together with cardiovascular and endocrinological effects.
