Zoology: fishes (ichthyology)

Anyone can look at a snake and see a creature unique unto itself, a reptile with a set of zoological and biological traits that are entirely its own.

This is the ninth volume of ten in the The Natural History of the Crustacea Series.

This book serves as an advanced text on fisheries and fishery population dynamics and as a reference for fisheries scientists.

This book will appeal to investigators in each of the scientific disciplines it integrates--evolutionary biology, ecology, salmonid biology, management, and conservation.

Fishes have evolved to colonise almost every type of aquatic habitat and today they are a hugely diverse group of over 25,000 species.

Essential Fish Biology provides an introductory overview of the functional biology of fish and how this may be affected by the widely contrasting habitat conditions within the aquatic environment.

Fisheries supply a critically important ecosystem service by providing over three billion people with nearly 20% of their daily animal protein intake.

The management and conservation of natural populations relies heavily on concepts and results generated from models of population dynamics.

This is the ninth volume of ten in the The Natural History of the Crustacea Series.

Jeremy Paxman has created the perfect literary catch for fellow angling enthusiasts in this rich and varied anthology.

Fish Physiology, Volume 38 in this ongoing series, examines how the inherent potential of fish to express traits of economic value can be realized through aquaculture.

Carbon Dioxide, Volume 37 in the Fish Physiology series highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of topics, including Historic, current-day and future CO2 environments and their dynamics in marine and freshwater ecosystems, CO2 sensing, Acid-base physiology and CO2 homeostasis: regulation and compensation, CO2 and calcification processes in fish, The physiology of behavioral impacts of high CO2, Effects of high CO2 on metabolic rates, aerobic scope and swimming performance, Internal spatial and temporal CO2 effects: feeding and alkaline tide, O2 in aquaculture: CO2 dynamics and fish health, and much more.

Fish Physiology

This is a tale of human obsession, one intrepid tuna, the dedicated fisherman who caught and set her free, the promises and limits of ocean science and the big truth of how our insatiable appetite for bluefin transformed a cottage industry into a global dilemma.

When the first edition of Inland Fishes of California was published in 1976, it was a benchmark reference.
