Global Warming: Implications for Freshwater and Marine Fish (Society for Experimental Biology Seminar Series) Book

Fish cannot regulate their body temperature so are at the mercy of the environmental temperature. The potential impact of global warming on fish health and productivity is immense, with great economic and ecological implications. In this multi-authored book, our current state of knowledge on the effects of temperature on freshwater and marine fish is reviewed by experts from a wide range of areas of fish physiology, reproduction, toxicology, behaviour and ecology. The possible effects on fish of a 2-4^DCRC global warming scenario are examined, making this of great use to ecologists, physiologists and those involved in fisheries research and management.Read More

  • Product Description

    Global warming and climate change are growing environmental concerns. The potential impact on freshwater and marine fish is immense, because most fish have no physiological ability to regulate their body temperature. This volume focuses on the effects of temperature at all levels of organization in fish, with particular emphasis on physiological function: cells, epithelia, organ systems, the whole organism, reproduction, behavior, pollutant interactions, ecology and population dynamics. Written by experts in the field, many chapters also speculate on the long-term physiological and ecological implications to fish of a 2-4oC global warming scenario over the next half century.
