Inherited and Acquired Impairments of Visual SensitivityFish sensory systems have been extensively studied not only because of a wide general interest in the behavioral and sensory physiology of this group, but also because fishes are well suited as biological models for studies of sensory systems. This volume describes how fish are able to perceive their physical and biological surroundings, and highlights some of the exciting developments in molecular biology of fish sensory systems. Volume 25 in the Fish Physiology series offers the only updated thorough examination of fish sensory systems at the molecular, cellular and systems leFish physiology ;v. 25.FishesSense organsElectric organs in fishesElectronic books.FishesSense organs.Electric organs in fishes.573.8717Hara Toshiaki J972010Zielinski Barbara1952-972011MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458725003321Sensory systems neuroscience2210042UNINA
