With the advent of zebrafish as a model system, the development and growth of muscle in fish has become an ever more important process. This volume, in the continuing Fish Physiology series, focuses attention on muscle from the genetics of muscle development to application of muscle growth patterns to aquacultural production.

Industry Reviews

Recent volumes have earned the following praise: "Volume 15 in the Fish Physiology series, The Fish Immune System: Organism, Pathogen, and Environment, edited by George Iwama and Teruyuki Nakanishi, is an excellent resource for those who wish to review the immunology of fish... The Fish Immune System is the only comprehensive, single-volume reference on the fish immune system and contains contributions from an international team of experts... As fish are increasingly used as model systems for vertebrate immune systems, The Fish Immune System will be a crucial reference."--TROPICAL FISH HOBBYIST "Volume 14, Cellular and Molecular Approaches to Fish Ionic Regulation provides an essential update to our knowledge of ionic regulation in fishes. At the same time, it competently presents detailed descriptions of cutting-edge techniques and new approaches at the cellular and molecular levels that are playing a central role in pushing forward the frontiers of this diverse field. The chapters are well cross-referenced, and the generous use of diagrams and clear photographs generally adds to the excellent contribution of each chapter."--TRANSACTIONS OF AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY
