This volume helps solve knowledge gaps by considering the many ways in which different physiological systems (e.g., sensory physiology, endocrine, cardio-respiratory, bioenergetics, water and ionic balance and homeostasis, locomotion/biomechanics, gene function) and physiological diversity are relevant to the management and conservation of fish and fisheries. Chapters in this release include Using physiology for recovering imperiled species – the Delta smelt, Conservation hatcheries – the Sturgeon story, Aquatic pollutants and stressors, and more.
Other sections discuss Fisheries interactions in a multi-stressor world, Environmental change in riverine systems - Amazon basin stressors, Environmental change in lakes and wetlands – East African basin stressors, Coral reef fish in a multi-stressor world, Polar fish in a multi-stressor world, Physiology informs fisheries restoration and habitat management, A physiological perspective on fish passage and entrainment, Invasive species control and management – the sea lamprey story, and On the conservation physiology of fishes for tomorrow.
- Includes authoritative contributions from an international board of authors, each with extensive expertise in the conservation physiology of fish
- Provides the most up-to-date information on the ways in which different physiological systems are relevant to the management and conservation of fish and fisheries
- Presents the latest release in the Fish Physiology series
- Identifies how anthropogenic stressors perturb physiological systems
- Explores how different physiological systems can be exploited to solve conservation problems
