Overview

This text covers the interaction of the Amazonian fishes with their environment. It takes the reader from the formation of the Amazon basin and its relationship with fish diversity and variability, to the adaptive strategies the fishes have developed to face the environmental heterogeneity of the Amazon. The central part of the book addresses respiratory adjustments to the low oxygen content of the Amazonian waters in all major fish groups. The discussion covers the main anatomical, morphological, physiological and biochemical adjustments in water- and air-breathing fishes.
