Fish Defenses Volume 1 & 2
Fish Defenses
Volume 1: Immunology
Editors:
Giacomo Zaccone: Department of Animal Biology and Marine Ecology , Messina University, Italy
J. Meseguer: and A. Garcia-Ayala: Department of Cell Biology, University of Murcia, Spain
B.G. Kapoor: Formerly Professor of Zoology, Jodhpur University, India
ISBN 978-1-57808-327-5/ 2008/ 390 pages, hc/ US $ 119.95
About the Book
The greatest complexity of the immune response is shown by vertebrates which are endowed with innate and acquired immunity. Immunological studies performed mostly in mammals have been the reference for studies in other vertebrates. The study of immunological fish defenses has advanced considerably in recent decades. This has been due to the key status of fish in terms of the evolution of acquired immunity and due to the rapid expansion of aquaculture over this period, wherein disease control is of prime concern. Most of the chapters not only review the current advances on fish immune defenses, but also show perspective for future research. The book will be of interest to scientists involved in fish immunology, fisheries and aquaculture as well as for students of fish biology.

About the Book
Dramatic changes in the environment, including habitat degradation and climate change, have focused attention on how individuals and populations respond to a shifting biotic and abiotic landscape. A critical step toward meeting this goal is a clear understanding of the capacity of individuals to defend themselves against threats. Changes in water quality and temperature have direct and indirect effects on fishes. Defensive responses can occur at many levels, from cellular to behavioral actions. The authors in this volume have attempted to provide a general view of the current state of knowledge of fish defenses with respect to pathogens, parasites, and predators, and to point out gaps where further study is needed.
