Fish Physiology: Behaviour and Physiology of Fish - Fish Physiology
Katherine a Sloman
Traditionally, behaviour and physiology have been considered two separate fields of biology. This volume aims to bring together these disciplines. Its chapters focus on different aspects of the life history of a fish, from predator avoidance through to reproduction. It encompasses the whole life span of fish.
