Target Organ Toxicity in Marine and Freshwater Teleosts

This book provides researchers and students with a comprehensive description of physiological attributes of several target organs in fish and how various agents disrupt these processes. This book also highlights the unique biology of fishes, particularly the physiological response to toxins, in comparison to mammals. Several books on the market cover this information in terms of mammalian physiology. This book identifies the numerous gaps in the literature regarding toxicant mechanisms of action in fishes.
