Download or read book Effects of Pollution on Fish written by Andrew J. Lawrence and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of pollution on fisheries and the potential health implications of eating contaminated fish are areas of considerable concern for the fishing and aquaculture communities, government bodies and the general public. Pollution, as well as over fishing, may well be contributory to recent serious declines in global fish stocks. Effects of Pollution on Fish brings together the work of many international experts each of whom have examined the literature on marine and freshwater fish and, where appropriate, invertebrates, to produce comprehensive chapters covering all major aspects of the impacts of pollution on fish and fisheries. The book describes these impacts in detail, from the molecular and sub-cellular level, through organism to population and community levels, and subsequently to socio-economic implications. The editors of this thorough and timely book have drawn together contributions encompassing molecular genetics, biochemistry, physiology, population and community biology, and fishery economics. As such, this important book will be of great use and interest to students and professionals studying and teaching in all those subject areas. Fish biologists, environmental scientists and ecotoxicologists, marine and freshwater ecologists, fisheries managers, aquaculture personnel and fish farmers, as well as fish veterinarians will all find much of great value within this book. Libraries in universities and research establishments concerned with these areas should all have copies of this book on their shelves.

This book presents information about the different responses of fish to pollutants from the molecular levels to changes in behavior, with emphasis on tropical species. It also discusses current topics such as the adverse effects of emerging compounds like nanoparticles and endocrine disruptor chemicals.
Download or read book Ecotoxicology written by Michael C. Newman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1996-01-12 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ecotoxicology: A Hierarchical Treatment, 20 recognized experts from around the world identify and present the fundamental concepts of ecotoxicology at the biological level central to their own research. Superbly organized, the book proceeds sequentially by chapter from the chemical to cellular to the ecosystem level, making it easy to read, understand, and use. Specifically, each author identifies important hypotheses, paradigms, "false" paradigms, or new techniques in his or her research area. As a result, this book is a stimulating progressive treatment of ecotoxicology at all levels of organization. Each chapter draws mechanistic interpretation from the next lower level and attempts to predict effects at the next higher level. This innovative approach underscores ecotoxicology's potential for development into a new discipline and makes Ecotoxicology: A Hierarchical Treatment the definitive reference at this crucial juncture.

Download or read book Fish Physiology Organic Chemical Toxicology of Fishes written by Keith B. Tierney and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish Physiology: Organic Chemical Toxicology of Fishes discusses the different types of organic chemical contaminants and their respective toxic effects in fish. The book also covers the detection of dissolved organic compounds and methods to assess organic toxicity. Substances addressed in this book include organometallics, hydrocarbons, endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), insecticides, herbicides, and pharmaceuticals. Fish are exposed to an ever-increasing array of organic chemicals that find their way into rivers and oceans. Some of these compounds are no longer being produced but nonetheless persist within the environment (persistent organic pollutants, or POPs). The exposure of fish to toxic organic compounds has potential impact on human, fish, and ecosystem health. Yet the regulations that govern environmental water quality vary worldwide, and compliance is never complete. This book provides a crucial resource on these issues for researchers in zoology, fish physiology, and related fields; applied researchers in environmental monitoring, conservation biology, and toxicology; and university-level students and instructors in these areas. - Organized by type of toxic organic chemicals - Includes metals, POPs, EDCs, herbicides, insecticides, and pharmaceuticals - Measures toxicity in a variety of ways aside from lethality - Probes the toxic effects of compound mixtures as well as single pollutants

Download or read book Sublethal and Chronic Effects of Pollutants on Freshwater Fish written by Rudolf Müller and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen much greater emphasis placed on the monitoring and measurement of sublethal aspects of pollution on fish. Tests and subsequent measurements have been made over the whole range of biological organisation – from the subcellular to changes at community structure level. Studies at the lower levels attract considerable scientific interest but, in many cases, it is still difficult to interpret the results of tests in terms of predicted harmful effects on individual fish. Conversely, it has been difficult to attribute the effects measured at higher levels to specific pollutants. This major new volume of immense scientific importance to fisheries managers, fish biologists, ecotoxicologists and those working in the area of fisheries and pollution, contains thirty–two papers presented at the Symposium hosted by the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission. Contributions come from an international team of distinguished experts and, together, the papers represent a detailed overview of work which is currently being undertaken in this area. Unlike many Symposia which simply report proceedings, this volume integrates the results of various areas of research and offers solid recommendations for future research and control.
