درباره این کتاب:
No
environment on Earth imposes greater
physical and biological constraints on
life than the deep oceanic midwaters.
Near-freezing temperatures, the absence of
sunlight, enormous pressure, and a low
food supply make habitation by any living
thing almost inconceivable. Yet 160
species of anglerfishes are found there in
surprising profusion. Monstrous in
appearance, anglerfishes possess a host of
unique and spectacular morphological,
behavioral, and physiological innovations.
In this fully illustrated book, the first
to focus on these intriguing fish,
Theodore W. Pietsch delivers a
comprehensive summary of all that is known
about anglerfishes--morphology, diversity,
evolution, geographic distribution,
bioluminescence, and reproduction.
