Tuna: Physiology, Ecology, and Evolution, Volume 19: Physiological Ecology and Evolution (Fish Physiology)

Tuna are biologically fascinating, with many specializations such as endothermy (warm-bloodedness), aerobic capacity, and migratory abilities. The primary focus of this book is the physiology of tuna with respect to biomechanics, thermoregulation, and morphology. An evolutionary and phylogenetic backdrop illustrates the importance of comparative perspectives. Because of the economic importance of tuna, a secondary focus of the book is tuna aquaculture and conservation.Tuna: Physiology, Ecology, and Evolution, Volume 19: Physiological Ecology and Evolution (Fish Physiology), 1 was published 2001 under ISBN 9780123504432 and ISBN 0123504430.
