Description :
The tropical zone contains the highest diversity of fish species on the planet. Many of these species are being continuously exposed to pollutants that are hazardous to fish health thereby posing serious risks for entire fish populations. To mitigate the risks that fish are subjected due to anthropogenic pollutants it is important to identify the responses activated in these organisms at different levels. This book presents information about the different responses of fish to pollutants from the molecular levels to changes in behavior, with emphasis on tropical species. Current topics such as the adverse effects of emerging compounds like nanoparticles and endocrine disruptor chemicals are also discussed.
