Inhaltsangabe
The deep ocean is home to some of the most unusual of all fishes. This book is the first Fish Physiology volume devoted to these bizarre undersea creatures. Practically every organ system is affected by the constraints imposed by benthic pressure, the absence of light, and the relatively scarce supply of both food and mates. Deep Sea Fishes demonstrates how these fishes living in extremely harsh conditions metabolize, behave, and evolve.

He has over 490 research publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals and an h-factor of 92. He has co-edited of 30 volumes of the Fish Physiology series, as well as an award-winning Encyclopedia of Fish Physiology. As part of his application of physiology to aquaculture, he has studied the sub-lethal impacts of sea lice and piscine orthoreovirus on the physiology of juvenile salmon.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
The deep ocean is home to some of the most unusual of all fishes. Practically every organ system of these fishes is affected by the constraints imposed by the benthic pressure, the absence of light, and the relatively scarce supply of both food and mates. Clearly, these fishes are living "on the edge" and must metabolize, behave, and evolve accordingly. This book, with chapters by leading figures in deep-sea biology, is the first Fish Physiology volume devoted to these bizarre abyssal denizens. Fishery biologists, physiologists, and ichthyologists interested in an up-to-date review of deep-sea fish physiology, ecology, and evolution will need this important volume.
