„this is a comprehensive and well written summary of fish pheromone research, and will likely become a first point of reference for those entering this field of work in the future.“ (Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015)
Organisms release pheromones into their environments to allowthem to communicate with other members of their species. Pheromonesare of increasing interest in both basic and applied aspects offish biology. Fish Pheromones and Related Cuesprovides a timely synthesis of this growing body of pheromoneresearch exploring everything from how these chemical signals areprocessed to the potential application of pheromone research onfish culture and conservation.
Fish Pheromones and Related Cues opens with a usefuloverview of fish pheromone research. Chapters then examine thebiological importance of pheromones in inter- and intraspeciescommunication, and the role these chemical cues play in a varietybiological functions from reproduction to predation. The finalchapters provide valuable insight into how pheromones are beingapplied in real-world efforts to culture fish species and toconserve our wild-borne populations from pollutants and invasivespecies.
With far-reaching economic and ecological implications, Fish Pheromones and Related Cues will be an essential volumefor anyone working in the fields of fish biology, aquaticconservation, ecology, and aquaculture.
