This book is designed both as a reference and a handbook for the study of fishes. The book is a source of methods commonly used to research fish genetics, systematics, anatomy, physiology, developmental biology, toxicology, behaviour, and ecology. Each chapter provides a comprehensive introduction to the literature of its field. The main emphasis is on methodology, but the pros and cons of alternative procedures are also treated, as are the uses and misuses of data generated by the techniques.
