Download or read book Cyprinid Fishes written by Ian J. Winfield and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 687 pages. 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.

Download or read book Inland Fishes of the Greater Southwest written by W. L. Minckley and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive new book replaces and substantially expands upon the landmark Fishes of Arizona, which has been the authoritative source since it was first published in 1973. Inland Fishes of the Greater Southwest is a one-volume guide to native and non-native fishes of the lower Colorado River basin, downstream from the Grand Canyon, and of the northern tributaries of the Sea of Cortez in the United States and Mexico. In all, there are in-depth accounts of more than 165 species representing 30 families. The book is not limited to the fish. It provides insights into their aquatic world with information on topography, drainage relations, climate, geology, vegetational history, aquatic habitats, human-made water systems, and conservation. A section of the book is devoted to fish identification, with keys to native and non-native families as well as family keys to species. The book is illustrated with more than 120 black-and-white illustrations, 47 full-color plates of native fishes, and nearly 40 maps and figures. Many native fish species are unique to the Southwest. They possess interesting and unusual adaptations to the challenges of the region, able to survive silt-laden floods as well as extreme water temperatures and highly fluctuating water flows ranging from very low levels to flash floods. However, in spite of being well-adapted, many of the fish described here are threatened or endangered, often due to the acts of humans who have altered the natural habitat. For that reason, Inland Fishes of the Greater Southwest presents a vast amount of information about the ecological relationships between the fishes it describes and their environments, paying particular attention to the ways in which human interactions have modified aquatic ecosystemsÑand to how humans might work to ensure the survival of rapidly disappearing native species.

Download or read book Geographic Variation in the North American Cyprinid Fish Hybopsis gracilis written by Leonard J. Olund and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Geographic Variation in the North American Cyprinid Fish, Hybopsis gracilis,' editors Leonard J. Olund and Frank B. Cross compile a comprehensive anthology that delves into the diverse biological adaptations and geographic distributions of Hybopsis gracilis. This collection not only showcases a range of scientific methodologies and theories but also places the species within the broader context of North American freshwater biodiversity. The anthology stands out for its detailed comparative analyses, committing to a holistic understanding of the species' ecological niche and evolutionary trajectory. The contributions within offer a cogent reminder of the complexity and beauty of nature's designs, vividly encapsulating the variance across climates and habitats without leaning excessively on any single narrative or hypothesis. The backgrounds of Olund and Cross, along with their selected contributing authors, encompass a rich tapestry of expertise in ichthyology, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Their collective work aligns with current conservation priorities and offers essential insights into the adaptive strategies of freshwater fish. This unification of perspectives does more than highlight individual accomplishments; it underscores the value of collaborative research in addressing broader ecological questions. Within this anthology lies an invitation to both the scholarly community and enthusiasts of natural sciences to explore the nuanced interactions between species and their environments. Fostering a deeper appreciation for geographic variation, this volume promises not only to educate but to inspire further inquiry into the biodiversity that underpins our world.
