Physiology of Aquatic Animal
The physical and chemical properties of water dominate the lives of aquatic organisms in ways largely unknown to most terrestrial animals. In many aspects, fish are typical vertebrates, differing only slightly from humans. While in other ways, their aquatic environment imposes strict requirements or offer unique conditions which resulted in some novel functions having no counterpart in other animals. For example, some fish can detect low-level electrical fields.
As in all other fields, certain themes recur throughout the study of fish physiology. We consider a few of these here: 1. structure as a functional base. 2. the concept of germ line continuity. 3. the concept of feedback
