The tropical zone contains the highest
diversity of fish species on the planet.
Many of these species are being
continuously exposed to pollutants that
pose serious hazards to fish health
thereby posing serious risks for entire
fish populations. Pollution and Fish
Health in Tropical Ecosystems
presents information about the different
responses of fish to pollutants from the
molecular levels to changes in behavior,
with emphasis on tropical species.
Pollution and Fish Health in Tropical
Ecosystems also discusses current
topics such as the adverse effects of
emerging compounds like nanoparticles and
endocrine disruptor chemicals.
