title: Fish Physiology: Behaviour and Physiology of Fish, Volume 24
author: Katherine A. Sloman
description: "In <i>Behaviour and Physiology of Fish</i>, Katherine Sloman, Rod Wilson and Sigal Balshine have eminently addressed the intimate interplay of the underlying physiological processes and behavioural output that enable us to better understand the proximate mechanisms and functions of fish behaviour...With reference to the title of this book review, there is indeed something fishy going on, and the link between behaviour and physiology is detailed exquisitely here. I highly recommend this book to undergraduates and postgraduates who are interested in either realm or who intend to study a combination of mechanistic and functional questions regarding behaviour. Any fish biologist who wishes to understand the current state of the art should also read this book as a base for future studies. I do hope to see a second edition of this book since the editors tantalisingly mention genomics and proteomics in their introduction. Post-genomic technology should provide fresh new insight into the, as yet, elusive causes of particular behaviours in future studies. This is an exciting time for the field of behaviour and physiology and this book will provide an interesting read for those who share my enthusiasm." --<b>Lynne U. Sneddon, University of Liverpool, UK, in <i>THE JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY</i></b>

  PART 1
  
  The great fish moved silently through the night water, propelled by short
  sweeps of its crescent tail. The mouth was open just enough to permit a rush
  of water over the gills. There was little other motion: an occasional
  correction of the apparently aimless course by the slight raising or lowering
  of a pectoral fin --as a bird changes direction by dipping
  
  one wing and lifting the other. The eyes were sightless in the black, and the
  other senses
  
  transmitted nothing extraordinary to the small, primitive brain. The fish
  might have been asleep, save for the movement dictated by countless millions
  of years of instinctive continuity: lacking the flotation bladder common to
  other fish and the fluttering flaps to
  
  push oxygen-bearing water through its gills, it survived only by moving. Once
