Description
The deep ocean is home to some of the most unusual of all fishes. This book is the first Fish Physiology volume devoted to these bizarre
undersea creatures. Practically every organ system is affected by the constraints imposed by benthic pressure, the absence of light,
and the relatively scarce supply of both food and mates.
Deep Sea Fishes demonstrates how these fishes living in extremely
harsh conditions metabolize, behave, and evolve.
