This book describes in general how the chemosensory systems of fish
function at various levels. In many ways, fish are typical
vertebrates differing only slightly from other vertebrates
including humans. In other ways, their aquatic environment imposes
strict requirements or offers unique opportunities which have
resulted in some unusual functions having no counterpart in higher
vertebrates. This new volume is necessitated by advances in many
vital areas as the field of chemical senses continues to grow at a
rapid pace. Most significant is the application of the contemporary
electrophysiological technique of patch-clamping, recognition of a
second messenger system in chemosensory transduction processes and
the identification of hormonal pheromones in fish reproductive
behaviour. The last major synthesis of our knowledge about fish
chemoreception, Chemoreception in Fishes, was published ten years
ago (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1982). In that volume four aspects of
fish chemoreception, Le. morphology of the peripheral
chemoreceptors. primary sensory processes, roles in behaviour, and
its interactions with environment, were discussed. This book is
intended to be helpful to students, scientists and aquacul turists
not only as a source book but also as a textbook on chemical
senses."
