About this book

With the advent of new tools, research on the structure and fuction of fish has made tremendous progress in the last few decades. An attempt to integrate the new information was started when the first volume, edited by Prof. B.R. Singh was published in 1993. In the mean time the second and third volumes were published in 1997 and 2003 respectively. The fourth volume of Advances in Fish Research, Volume 4 includes research articles by well-known authors on several subfields of fish biology including feeding ecology, neurobiology, population dynamics, air breathing organs, prostaglandins and sexual behaviour, biometrics, and reproductive biology, etc.

Advances in Fish Research, Volume 4 aims at providing up-to-date information on different aspect of fish biology with an indication of potential areas for future research. We are sure, the book will cater to the needs of post-graduate students, research scholars and teachers interested in the fascinating field of fish biology.
