45. Environmental Assessment of Estuarine Ecosystems

    A Case Study

    Edited by Claude Amiard-Triquet, Philip S. Rainbow

    Series: Environmental and Ecological Risk Assessment

46. Fish Defenses Vol. 2

    Pathogens, Parasites and Predators

    Edited by Giacomo Zaccone

    Dramatic changes in the environment, including habitat degradation and climate change, have focused attention on how individuals and populations respond to a shifting biotic and abiotic landscape. A critical step toward meeting this goal is a clear understanding of the capacity of individuals to...

48. Reproductive Biology and Phylogeny of Fishes (Agnathans and Bony Fishes)

    Sperm Competition Hormones

    Edited by Barrie G M Jamieson

    The animals loosely termed fish constitute more than half of all known vertebrate species. There are approximately 27,000 described living species of bony fishes (Euteleostomi = Osteichthyes), about 70 species of hagfishes and some 34 species of lampreys. Approximately 970 species are...

49. Development of Non-teleost Fishes

    Edited by Yvette W Kunz, Carl A. Luer, B.G. Kapoor

    An up-to-date compilation of the development of non-teleost fishes has so far been unavailable. These fishes include the jawless fishes (hagfish and lampreys), the cartilaginous fishes (sharks, rays, skates and chimaeras), the forerunners of the teleostei: the cladistia (bichirs and reedfish), the...

50. The Biology of Blennies

    Edited by Robert A Patzner, Emanuel J. Gonçalves, Philip A. Hastings

    Blennies are diverse group of bony fishes found around the globe. Most blennies are small and somewhat difficult to identify, so until recently these fish did not occupy the interests of many ichthyologists and even fewer ecologists. With nearly 900 species, blennies are important members of most...
