The series "Fish Physiology" recently celebrated its 50th
Anniversary. In total, the editors of the series have produced a
total of 47 books (several volumes have two books) that contain
almost 500 chapters since the inaugural volume published in 1969.
The content of the "Fish Physiology" volumes has evolved over time.
The initial volumes were devoted to understanding the basic
mechanisms and principles of fish physiology, with a focus on a few
model species and some application to natural environmental
conditions. Then, as the field better understood mechanisms, the
approach was broadened to not only delve deeper into system
physiology (e.g., chapters in early volumes were expanded to become
books), but interspecific differences in physiology were explored,
permitting a more evolutionary framework. Finally, as interspecific
physiological mechanisms were further resolved, it became possible
to discuss physiology in light of a changing world. Thus,
physiology can now inform on conservation, sustainability and
management, as exemplified with the most recent volumes. This
anniversary issue celebrates the series by highlighting some of the
very important early work in the field that was published in the
Series. In particular, we wished to (re)introduce new researchers
to this research that has stood the test of time and that shaped
the field. Each re-published chapter is preceded by a short review
written by experts in the field to provide an overview/introduction
of each selected chapter, discuss what is particularly noteworthy
or important in the particular chapter, and discuss why in their
opinion this chapter has become a classic in its own right and how
it has inspired the field of fish physiology today?
Conservation Physiology for the Anthropocene: A Systems Approach,
Volume 39A in the Fish Physiology series, is a comprehensive
synthesis on the physiology of fish in the Anthropocene. This
volume closes the knowledge gap by considering the many ways in
which different physiological systems (e.g., sensory physiology,
endocrine, cardio-respiratory, bioenergetics, water and ionic
balance and homeostasis, locomotion/biomechanics, gene function)
and physiological diversity are relevant to management and
conservation. As the world is changing, with a dire need to
identify solutions to the many environmental problems facing wild
fish populations, this book comprehensively covers conservation
physiology and its future techniques. Conservation physiology
reveals the many ways in which environmental change and human
activities can negatively influence wild fish populations. These
tactics inform new management and conservation activities and help
create the necessary conditions for fish to thrive.
Conservation Physiology for the Anthropocene - A Systems Approach,
Volume 39B in the Fish Physiology series, is a comprehensive
synthesis related to the physiology of fish in the Anthropocene.
This volume helps solve knowledge gaps by considering the many ways
in which different physiological systems (e.g., sensory physiology,
endocrine, cardio-respiratory, bioenergetics, water and ionic
balance and homeostasis, locomotion/biomechanics, gene function)
and physiological diversity are relevant to the management and
conservation of fish and fisheries. Chapters in this release
include Using physiology for recovering imperiled species - the
Delta smelt, Conservation hatcheries - the Sturgeon story, Aquatic
pollutants and stressors, and more. Other sections discuss
Fisheries interactions in a multi-stressor world, Environmental
change in riverine systems - Amazon basin stressors, Environmental
change in lakes and wetlands - East African basin stressors, Coral
reef fish in a multi-stressor world, Polar fish in a multi-stressor
world, Physiology informs fisheries restoration and habitat
management, A physiological perspective on fish passage and
entrainment, Invasive species control and management - the sea
lamprey story, and On the conservation physiology of fishes for
tomorrow.
