Summary, Etc. Note: |
Review: "Fish Morphology: Horizon of New Research, an edited, multiauthored book, deals with the form and function relationships of fish morphology both at the macro and micro levels. It also examines the relationships between hard and soft structures and among the soft structures at the cellular and subcellular levels. This book analyzes the philosophy of functional morphology, ontogeny and phylogeny of air breathers; morphometrics of the respiratory organs of air-breathing fish, gill dimension; vascular organization, digestive system tract appendages, liver, gall bladder, structural configurations and functional correlations of the fish ovary; locomotory muscles, air bladder, cephalic sensory canal system. This book also provides a composite approach in analyzing the effects of pollutants on organs' microscopic structure and ultrastructure, physiology and behavior of the fish. Twenty-six eminent scientists from five continents have contributed chapters in this book."--Jacket |
