Description
Fish sensory systems have been extensively studied not only because of a wide general interest in the behavioral and sensory physiology
of this group, but also because fishes are well suited as biological models for studies of sensory systems. This volume describes how
fish are able to perceive their physical and biological surroundings, and highlights some of the exciting developments in molecular biology
of fish sensory systems. Volume 25 in the Fish Physiology series offers the only updated thorough
examination of fish sensory systems at the molecular, cellular and systems levels.
Audience
Fish biologists and physiologists, researchers in cell, molecular, and sensory systems biology.
