"From chromosomes to molecular adjustments to extreme environmental conditions, from current arrangement of eyes to evolutionary changes in the suspensorium, from morph physiological adaptations of Antarctic fish to nutrient requirements of some fish groups, including analysis of fish living under extreme conditions in the Amazon and in the Antarctic, the present book is a 'voyage' through Fish Adaptation, including new information. This book will be of interest to researchers, professors and graduate students in biology, zoology, ecology, biochemistry, genetics and physiology."--BOOK JACKET.
