The desire for ion and water homeostasis is usual to all lifestyles. For fish, ion and water homeostasis is an extremely very important problem simply because they stay in direct touch with water and thanks to the massive edition within the salt content material of common waters (varying by way of over five orders of magnitude). such a lot fish are stenohaline and are not able to maneuver among freshwater and seawater. Remarkably, a few fishes are in a position to lifestyles in either freshwater and seawater. those euryhaline fishes represent an envisioned three to five% of all fish species. Euryhaline fishes characterize one of the most iconic and fascinating of all fish species, from salmon and sturgeon that make epic migrations to intertidal mudskippers that cope with day-by-day salinity adjustments. With the arrival of worldwide weather swap and extending sea degrees, knowing the environmental body structure of euryhaline species is important for environmental administration and any mitigative measures. This quantity will give you the first integrative evaluate of euryhalinity in fish. there isn't any different ebook that makes a speciality of fish that experience the capability to maneuver among freshwater and seawater. the various demanding situations of salt and water stability in several habitats have resulted in diverse physiological controls and legislation, which heretofore has now not been reviewed in one quantity.

• Collects and synthesizes the literature overlaying the country of information of the body structure of euryhaline fish
• Provides the foundational info wanted for researchers from a number of fields, together with fish body structure, conservation and evolutionary biology, genomics, ecology, ecotoxicology, and comparative physiology
• All authors are the top researchers and rising leaders of their fields
