Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the fishes. a remarkably wide range ofbiological adaptations to diverse habitats has evolved. As weIl as living in the conventional habitats of lakes. ponds. rivers. rock pools and the open sea. fish have solved the problems of life in deserts. in the deep sea. in the cold Antarctic. and in warm waters of high alkalinity or of low oxygen. Along with these adaptations. we find the most impressive specializations of morphology. physiology and behaviour. For example we can marvel at the high-speed swimming of the marlins. sailfish and warm-blooded tunas. air breathing in catfish and lungfish. parental care in the mouth-brooding cichlids and viviparity in many sharks and toothcarps. Moreover. fish are of considerable importance of the survival of the human species in the form ofnutritious and delicious food ofnumerous kinds. Rational exploitation and management of our global stocks of fishes must rely upon a detailed and precise insight of their biology. The Chapman and Hall Fish and Fisheries Series aims to present timely volumes reviewing important aspects of fish biology. Most volumes will be of interest to research workers in biology. zoology. ecology and physiology. but an additional aim is for the books to be accessible to a wide spectrum of non specialist readers ranging from undergraduates and postgraduates to those with an interest in industrial and commercial aspects of fish and fisheries.

This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the application of fish community characteristics to evaluate the sustainability and biological integrity of freshwaters. Topics include perspectives on use of fish communities as environmental indicators in program development, collaboration, and partnership forming; influence of specific taxa on assessment of the IBI; regional applications for areas where the IBI had not previously been developed; and specific applications of the IBI developed for coldwater streams, inland lakes, Great Lakes, reservoirs, and tailwaters.

Download or read book Systematics Variation and Zoogeography of Two North American Cyprinid Fishes written by Alan W. Wells and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Systematics, geographic variation, and postglacial dispersal patterns are examined in Hybognathus hankinsoni (brassy minnow) and Couesius £l u mbe us (lake chub)• Morphological differences between Missouri River basin and Great Lakes basin H. ha n k ins oni were discovered. Northern Alberta and British Columbia populations most closely resemble those from the Great Lakes region. It is postulated that the Missouri form originated in 'he "Preglacial Plains Stream" and survived glaciation in the Missouri basin. The form presently found in the Great Lakes region most likely originated in the pre-Pleistocene Laurentian River system and/or Missouri River system and survived glaciation in the upper Mississippi basin. Dispersal into northern Alberta and British Columbia was probably via Campbell phase Lake Agassiz and glacial Lake Peace. Taxonomic recognition of the two forms does not seem warranted. Existence of three morphological forms of C. plumbeus is confirmed - an upper Columbia River basin "greeni", a Missouri basin "dissimilis", and an eastern and Great Lakes "plumbeus". All three forms intergrade extensively throughout the northwest portion of the geographic range, while in the Lake Superior region "dissimilis" and "plumbeus" seem to be good biological species. Morphological differences between the "dissimilis" and "pluabeus" forms appear related to ecological differences. The "greeni 1 ' form most likely originated in the Columbia River basin, while the "dissimilis" form probably originated in the Missouri River basin. The "plumbeus" form may have originated in the pre-Pleistocene Laurentian River system and survived glaciation in an eastern lower Great Lakes refugium. Phenetic and cladistic analyses suggest that the genus Couesius is most closely related to the nominal genus Margari neus and it is suggested that they be combined into a single genus, Couesius. Proposals to unite Couesius with Hy bopsis or Sesotilus are not supported. Evidence indicating possible hybridization between Couesius olu mbe us and Semotilus (Xargariscus) sarcrarita is presented.
