Explains how toxic chemical pollutants affect physiological processes in teleost fish. This Second Edition has been completely updated, and chapters have been added on immunology and acid toxicity. The emphasis is on understanding the mechanisms of sublethal effects on fish and their responses to these environmental stressors.
-- Provides a complete and updated treatment of the effects of water pollutants on the physiology of fish
-- Includes material on how toxics affect the respiration, cardiovascular system, liver structure and function, metabolism, enzyme activity, reproduction and...
