This volume aims to review and present 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 realization 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.
