Farrell, Colin J. Brauner, and Erika J. Eliason, it features contributions from experts in the field. The book covers a broad range of topics including the physiology of smolting salmonids, hormonal control of gill functions, fish locomotion, muscle function, swimming capacity, and the effects of environmental factors on fish physiology in the context of climate change. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of fish physiology and its applications in research and management practices, making it a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of zoology, marine biology, and ecology.
