The evolution of this great diversity of species has resulted in a myriad of solutions to the demands posed by the aquatic environment.Ecological and Environmental Physiology of Fishes presents a current and comprehensive overview of fish physiology to demonstrate how living fishes function in their environment. As with other books in the Series, the emphasis is on the unique physiological characteristics of the fish, but with applications to questions of broad 410 0$aEcological and Environmental Physiology Series 606 $aFishes -- Composition 606 $aFishes -- Molecular aspects 606 $aFishes -- Physiology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aFishes -- Composition. 615 4$aFishes -- Molecular aspects. 615 4$aFishes -- Physiology. 676 $a571.17 700 $aEddy$b F.
