This sixth volume in this established series deals with the
biochemical responses of fish to different environmental/ecological
factors. Environmental Toxicology captures vital issues affecting
the responses of fish to the chemical surroundings of their
environment. Chapters included in this volume identify the systems
found in fish to deal with xenobiotics, hormonal interactions
initiated in the presence of these chemicals, the unique mechanisms
used by fish to adjust to the present chemicals, and the new and
evolving mixtures of chemicals in their environment. Also included,
is a crucial review of the new methods being applied in fish
systems to understand the effects of xenobiotics to fish fitness -
a key theme in environmental health and critical to the future of
fish populations.
* Entirely new topic discussion and most recent volume in the
acclaimed series
* Includes chapters detailed on a cellular level
* Introduces discussion of pharmaceutical effects on fish
This fourth volume in the series covers such topics as endogenous
fuels, electric organs, histidine-related dipeptides, and origins
of luciferins. The book will be invaluable to fisheries scientists,
aquaculturists, and animal biochemists, physiologists and
endocrinologists; it will provide researchers and students with a
pertinent information source from theoretical and experimental
angles.
This third volume in the series covers such topics as anaesthetics,
cannulation and injection techniques, and surgery. The book will be
invaluable to fisheries scientists, aquaculturists, and animal
biochemists, physiologists and endocrinologists; it will provide
researchers and students with a pertinent information source from
theoretical and experimental angles.
This second volume in the series covers such topics as DNA
fingerprinting of fishes, the cytochromes P450 in fish, the
molecular biology of bacterial fish diseases, and new insights into
the origins of the diversity and distribution of fish antifreeze
proteins. The book will be of great value to fisheries scientists,
animal biochemists, physiologists and endocrinologists, and
aquaculturists. It will provide researchers and students alike with
a pertinent information source from theoretical and experimental
angles.
This new series on The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Fishes
grew out of the demand for state-of-the-art review articles in a
rapidly expanding field of research. Up to the present, most
research literature on biochemistry involved rats and humans, but
new breakthroughs in the piscine setting have indicated that the
field is ready for a review series of its own. Because of funding
and experimental availability restrictions, most research in the
field has dealt with fish and insects. Within the insect field,
comparative biochemistry and comparative physiology have proceeded
along independent paths as opposed to the piscine field, where the
tendency has been for the latter to envelop the former.
This volume sets out to make comparative biochemistry and
comparative physiology independent of each other within the piscine
setting, another important rationale for this review series as well
as detailing the phylogenetic evolution of fishes. The goal of the
series is to provide researchers and students with an appropriate
balance between experimental results and theoretical concepts.
