Product Description:

Fishincluding cyclostomes, elasmobranchs, and teleosts display a widevariety of ways of coping with the stringent conditions they encounterin the aquatic environment. This diversity is especially evident in thefemale genital systems where some fish spawn profligate numbers ofsmall eggs while others develop a few yolky eggs that may receiveparental care. Parental care is carried to extremes in viviparity whereeggs develop within the ovary or oviducts of the mother.
    Thisvolume describes the myriad ways in which fish have approached problemsof reproduction it is an amply illustrated comparative study of themicroscopic structure of the female genital systems of fish. The timingof its appearance is auspicious in that it coincides with the declineof the golden age of descriptive morphology. It is a compilation ofthousands of micrographs mostly electron micrographs from classic worksin the field and should prove valuable to investigators studying fishin areas such as ecology, physiology, and reproductive biology who mayview histology as essential in their work but have little background inthis area. It includes chapters on the origin of genital systems, thestructure of ovarian follicles, mechanisms of ovulation, the corticalreaction, oviducts, oviparity, and amazing examples of viviparity.
