The study of fish neuroendocrinology has had a significant impact
on our general understanding of the functional roles and evolution
of a variety of neurochemical messengers and systems. Not only do
fish possess unique neuroendocrine features, they have also been
and remain an important vertebrate models for the discovery of new
neuropeptides. In the last fifty years, neuroendocrinologists have
documented a complex and seemingly infinite number of interactions
between hormones and nerve structures. Gradually emerging from this
knowledge is an understanding of the specific neurohormonal
pathways and the messengers responsible for maintaining homeostasis
in an aquatic environment and for regulating the functional systems
that allow for the highly diverse life histories and reproductive
tactics of fish
Despite its recent growth, breadth and unique attributes, there is
no single text covering the discipline of fish neuroendocrinology.
In fact, other than a few mammalian neuroendocrinology textbooks,
there is a serious lack of texts in comparative neuroendocrinology.
Currently, information on the anatomical organization and function
of the various neuroendocrine systems in fish is only available in
original research papers and reviews.
By providing a current and comprehensive volume that highlights the
specific properties of fish neuroendocrinology, this book will go
beyond being the only reference text for fish neuroendocrinologists
and will also serve comparative physiologists, endocrinologists,
neuroanatomists and behaviourists interested in understanding the
reciprocal actions between the nervous and endocrine systems.
