  • Fish physiologyby David J. McKenzie; Anthony P. Farrell; Colin J. Brauner

    Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 103.00

    Primitive fishes are a relatively untapped resource in the scientific search for insights into the evolution of physiological systems in fishes and higher vertebrates. Volume 26 in the Fish Physiology series presents what is known about the physiology of these fish in comparison with the two fish groups that dominate today, the modern elasmobranchs... more...

  • The Muskellunge Symposiumby James S. Diana; Terry L. Margenau

    Springer 2007; US$ 139.99

    This book documents proceedings of a symposium on muskellunge developed as a memorial for E.J. Crossman. It focuses on the biology, ecology, and management of muskellunge, Ed??'s favorite fish. The papers include surveys of current ecological, behavioral, and management-related issues for muskellunge fisheries. The symposium was developed to bring... more...

  • Intertidal Fishesby Michael H. Horn; Karen L.M Martin; Michael A. Chotkowski

    Elsevier Science 1998; US$ 139.95

    Intertidal Fishes describes the fishes inhabiting the narrow strip of habitat between the high and low tide marks along the rocky coastlines of the world. It analyzes the specialized traits of these fishes that have adapted to living in the dynamic and challenging space where they are alternately exposed to the air and submerged in water with the... more...

  • Biology of Fishesby Quentin Bone; Richard Moore

    Taylor and Francis 2008; US$ 98.00

    The Third Edition of Biology of Fishes is chiefly about fish as remarkably efficient machines for coping with the many problems that life in water entails, and looks at many such special cases. Fishes form the largest group of vertebrates, with around 20,000 known species, and they display a remarkable diversity of size, shape, internal structure... more...

  • Fish Cognition and Behaviorby Culum Brown; Kevin Laland; Jens Krause

    Wiley 2008; US$ 250.00

    The study of animal cognition has been largely confined to birds and mammals; a historical bias which has led to the belief that learning plays little or no part in the development of behaviour in fishes and reptiles. Research in recent decades has begun to redress this misconception and it is now recognised that fishes exhibit a rich array of sophisticated... more...

  • Fishes in Estuariesby M. Elliott; Krystal L. Hemingway

    Wiley 2008; US$ 299.95

    This landmark publication collates information and studies on the use of estuaries, and specific habitats within them, as nursery, feeding and refuge areas, and migration routes of marine and other fish, many of which are of commercial and conservation importance. The editors and authors of the book have carefully compiled a huge wealth of information... more...

  • Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheriesby Paul J. B. Hart; John D. Reynolds

    Wiley 2008; US$ 235.00

    Recent decades have witnessed strong declines in fish stocks around the globe, amid growing concerns about the impact of fisheries on marine and freshwater biodiversity. Fisheries biologists and managers are therefore increasingly asking about aspects of ecology, behaviour, evolution and biodiversity that were traditionally studied by people working... more...

  • Migration of Freshwater Fishesby Martyn Lucas; Etienne Baras

    Wiley 2008; US$ 269.95

    Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the widespread existence of spatio-temporal variations in the abundance and distribution of species of freshwater fishes, previously assumed not to move between habitats. These movements are often on a seasonal or ontogenetic basis, for spawning, feeding and refuge, and in many cases are fundamental for... more...

  • Salmonid Fishesby Yuri P. Altukhov; Elena A. Salmenkova; Vladimir T. Omelchenko

    Wiley 2008; US$ 289.95

    This important title encompasses features of genetic processes in complexly organised population systems of salmonids, one of the most commercially valuable families of fish worldwide. Translated from the original work in Russian, the authors have taken the opportunity to update and revise the work, much of it appearing in the English language for... more...

  • Sea Troutby Graeme Harris; Nigel Milner

    Wiley 2008; US$ 259.95

    The Brown trout displays widely divergent life history strategies involving, variously, usage of streams, rivers, lakes, estuaries and the sea. The sea trout is the full sea-going form, it is very common and competes with salmon for the position of the most sought after migratory salmonid in many countries. Its use of freshwater, estuaries and coastal... more...
