Synopsis

Many physiological processes are regulated by the movement of ions into and out of organs, tissues, and cells. During the past decade, a variety of new techniques and approaches have contributed to a deeper understanding of the myriad influences ions have on the function and structure of organisms. From respiration and excretion to neurological control and metabolic processing, ions and their regulation occupy a central role in physiology of fish as well as other organisms.

• Comprehensive update of ionic regulation in fish
• Focuses on wide variety of organ systems and the influence of ions on organ system function
• Contributions from an international group

About this title

Review:

"Volume 14, Cellular and Molecular Approaches to Fish Ionic Regulation, provides an essential update... presents detailed descriptions of cutting-edge techniques and new approaches at the cellular and molecular levels that are playing a central role in pushing forward the frontiers of this diverse field." --TRANSACTIONS OF AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY

From the Back Cover:

During the past decade, a variety of new techniques and approaches have provided a deeper understanding of the myriad influences ions have on the function and structure of organisms. From respiration and excretion, to neurological control and metabolic processing, ions and their regulation occupy a central role in the physiology of all organisms including fishes. This book provides a state-of-the-art update of these new areas of interest by focusing attention upon fishes as model organisms.
