Synopsis
With the decline in world fish stocks, our knowledge of fish reproduction has become fundamental. Reproduction is an essential commitment to future generation. It is also a continuous development process throughout ontogeny, requiring energetic, ecological, physiological, anatomical, biochemical and endrocrinological adaptations. The first chapters highlight important issues affecting fish normal ways of reproductive development; details would focus on species living in opposite environments, such as tropical and polar fishes; far related, as teleosts and cartilaginous fishes; and finally, fish having different reproductive strategies. Thereafter, since many fishes live in detrimental environments, mainly induced by the continuous input of xenobiotic substances into waterways, the authors found it highly pertinent to include this topic. Herein, the authors fix their attention on the factors and mechanisms that may well affect reproductionrelated hormonal systems as also on known consequences for fish living i

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. A nice copy. No writing or highlighting. Clean pages, shows very minimal signs of wear from use. Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- Edited by Maria J Rocha, with Augustine Arukwe and B.G. Kapoor, this multi-author volume covers the reproductive biology of fishes. Its early chapters deal with physiology and endocrinology: oocyte maturation after vitellogenesis, the role of gonadotropins, gonadal steroids, vitellogenesis itself, follicular steroidogenesis, sex pheromones derived from hormones, and reproduction in viviparous teleosts. Further chapters turn to behavior and ecology, including mating systems, reproductive strategies, the energetic costs of breeding, reproductive behavior in shoaling species, and parental care under predation risk. Later sections address gonadal sex differentiation and the chemical disruption of reproduction, among them a chapter by Arukwe on estrogenic pathways and biomarkers and one on molecular markers of androgen disruption. A chapter on reproduction in relation to aquaculture is also included. Seller Inventory # OA-250120-shelf-36-020
