Within recent years man has become increasingly aware of the
disastrous environmental changes that he has introduced, and
therefore society is now more concerned about understanding the
adaptations organisms have evolved in order to survive and flourish
in their environment. Because much of the information pertaining to
this subject is scattered in various journals or special symposia
proceedings, our purpose in writing this book is to bring together
in a college-and graduate-student text the principal concepts of
the environmental physiology of the animals that inhabit one of the
major realms of the earth, the sea. Our book is not meant to be a
definitive treatise on the physiological adap tation of the animals
that inhabit the marine environment. Instead, we have tried to
highlight some of the physiological mechanisms through which these
animals have been able to meet the challenges of their environment.
We have not written this book for anyone particular scientific
discipline; rather, we hope that it will have an interdisciplinary
appeal. It is meant to be both a reference text and a text for
teaching senior undergraduate and graduate courses in marine
biology, physiological ecology of marine animals, and envi
ronmental physiology of marine animals."
