Effects of Pollution on Fish [PDF ebook] 
Molecular Effects and Population Responses

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.
