Living organisms are endowed with ingenious adaptive mechanisms to
cope with the adversities of special environments. Due to the vast
diversity of their habitats, fish make an excellent model to depict
the interplay of morphological, physiological and biochemical
aspects, and are often used to study adaptive processes to a new
environment. The book covers fish in diverse environmental
conditions such as alkaline environments, caves, Antarctic, ice
cold lakes, tropical coral reefs, and deep waters. The chapters
also discuss mitochondrial functions in the cold, circadian
rhythms, endocrinology of migratory fish life cycle and fish muscle
function. The topics have been selected in order to present a
window to an array of adaptations of aquatic inhabitants which
enable them to subsist and survive in the uncommon, and often
hostile, external environment.
