Opis

The eel has become an excellent model for various aspects of adaptive physiological research. Filling a void in eel literature, this book presents various aspects of eel physiology in one comprehensive volume. With its numerous figures and tables and an extensive up‐to-date bibliography, it will be of interest not only to researchers and students but also to people engaged in applied research in fishery and aquaculture. It is hoped that this book will stimulate and suggest new lines of research.
