Biology of Fishes

Describes fish as remarkably efficient machines for coping with the many problems that life in water entails, and looks at many such special cases. This book focuses on the ways in which fish have resolved the particular problems that come from living in water, especially body fluid regulation, locomotion, feeding mechanisms, and sensory systems.
