Physiology of Fishes

Almost three decades after the publication of the first edition, this book remains the only published single-volume work on fish physiology. The fifth edition is an important reference for new students of fish biology, marine and freshwater biologists, ichthyologists, and comparative physiologists.

About the author

Suzanne Currie, PhD, is a Professor of Biology and the Harold Crabtree Chair in Aquatic Animal Physiology at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. She received her BSc (honors) in biology from Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and then went on to earn an MSc and PhD in biology at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Dr. Currie’s research is focused on the strategies aquatic animals use to cope with environmental stress.
