Klappentext An authoritative and timely review on the possible effects of global warming on fish. Review of the hardback: ' ... this book is essential reading for anyone working in the fields of fish ecology, behaviour, physiology, and fisheries biology.' R. S. Batty, Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology Zusammenfassung Fish cannot regulate their body temperature and so are at the mercy of the environmental temperature. The potential impact of global warming on fish health and productivity is therefore immense! with great economic and ecological implications. A range of experts review the state of knowledge and draw important conclusions. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Temperature thresholds for protein adaptation: when does temperature start to 'hurt'?
