Review "Physiologists and other integrative biologists have embraced the zebrafish as a powerful model organism to study research topics as diverse as cardio-respiratory function, neurobiology, toxicology and even human disease. This volume, aptly titled Zebrafish, is the first comprehensive compilation of chapters outlining the physiology of this extensively studied and fascinating animal. Zebrafish will serve as a one-stop resource not only for traditional fish physiologists but also for biomedical researchers, toxicologists and developmental biologists. The subject areas covered in this volume represent key domains of modern physiological research, which include endocrinology, respiration, cardiovascular function, ionic and acidbase regulation, neurobiology, hearing and vision. In addition to chapters on fundamental physiological systems, this book will summarize the tools used to study zebrafish physiology and the applicability of zebrafish for studies of human disease and aquatic toxicology. This authoritative review, which represents the contributions of the world's leading researchers, is destined to emerge as the single most important resource for students and researchers seeking information on zebrafish."--BOOK JACKET.
