Ecological risk assessors face increasing demands to assess more chemicals, with greater
speed and accuracy, and to do so using fewer resources and experimental animals. New …

One of the major objectives of the aquaculture industry is the production of a large number of
viable eggs with high survival. Major achievements have been made in recent years in …

Oogenesis in fishes follows a universal plan; yet, due to differences in the synchrony and
rate of egg development, spawning frequency varies from daily to once in a lifetime. Some …

Among the fishes, a remarkably wide range of biological adaptations to diverse habitats has
evolved. As well as living in the conventional habitats of lakes, ponds, rivers, rock pools and …

Understanding the capacity of species to acclimate and adapt to expected temperature
increases is critical for making predictions about the biological impacts of global warming …

Control of reproductive function in captivity is essential for the sustainability of commercial
aquaculture production, and in many fishes it can be achieved by manipulating photoperiod …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Factors affecting egg quality are determined by the intrinsic properties of the egg itself and
the environment in which the egg is fertilized and subsequently incubated. Egg quality in fish …

This contribution describes and identifies the most common reproductive strategies of a
large number of commercially important fish species of the North Atlantic with regard to …

In recent years, a number of man-made chemicals have been shown to be able to mimic
