This book and its companion, Fish Physiology, Volume 12, Part B, are the first major syntheses of recent advances, general concepts, and species diversity of fish in almost 25 years. It provides broad coverage of the major aspects of cardiovascular physiology and is a definitive sourcebook for the field. This book discusses the special design of the venous system in aquatic vertebrates, reviews the nature of the secondary circulation in fish, and discusses the probable absence of the lymphatic system. It is of value to teachers in comparative physiology as well as to the researcher.

The interactions between wild bird populations (many protected by law) and fish, particularly those under commercial culture or part of a fishery is subject of much controversy. Ecological, environmental and conservation pressures run alongside commercial pressures on exploited fish populations. This exciting book draws together contributions from all over the world to provide a fascinating insight into many case studies and conflicts in managed situations as well as looking at the overall ecology of such interactions in normal un-managed ecosystems.

Produced in conjunction with the Environment Agency, this guide, aimed at wetland managers, provides a step-by-step strategy for the restoration of ponds and shallow lakes damaged by eutrophication, using techniques for setting of restoration goals, nutrient control, ecological engineering using fish manipulation, plant and fish re-establishment, monitoring and aftercare. Case studies from four European countries are analysed, with lessons learnt from them.
