Conservation Physiology for the Anthropocene: A Systems Approach,Volume 39A in the Fish Physiology series, is a comprehensive synthesis on the physiology of fish in the Anthropocene. This volume closes the knowledge gap by considering the many ways in which different physiological systems (e.g., sensory physiology, endocrine, cardio-respiratory, bioenergetics, water and ionic balance and homeostasis, locomotion/biomechanics, gene function) and physiological diversity are relevant to management and conservation. As the world is changing, with a dire need to identify solutions to the many environmental problems facing wild fish populations, this book comprehensively covers conservation physiology and its future techniques.

Conservation physiology reveals the many ways in which environmental change and human activities can negatively influence wild fish populations. These tactics inform new management and conservation activities and help create the necessary conditions for fish to thrive.

The book also discusses the importance of understanding the physiological responses of fish to environmental stressors, such as climate change, pollution, and habitat loss. By understanding these responses, scientists can develop new strategies to protect and conserve fish populations.

Furthermore, the book emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary research and collaboration in conservation physiology. By bringing together experts from different fields, such as biology, ecology, and fisheries management, scientists can develop more effective and sustainable conservation strategies.

In conclusion, Conservation Physiology for the Anthropocene: A Systems Approach,Volume 39A in the Fish Physiology series, is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, and policymakers interested in understanding the physiology of fish and developing effective conservation strategies. By considering the many ways in which different physiological systems and physiological diversity are relevant to management and conservation, this book provides a comprehensive synthesis on the current state of knowledge in this field. As the world faces increasingly complex environmental challenges, this book will be an essential tool for creating the necessary conditions for fish to thrive in the Anthropocene.
