Description
Book SynopsisPheromones are chemical cues that pass between members of the same species that convey specific, adaptive information. These cues, and related chemicals whose function are less well defined, are especially important to fishes because of their aquatic environments and complex behaviors.
Trade Review"this is a comprehensive and well written summary of fish pheromone research, and will likely become a first point of reference for those entering this field of work in the future." (Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015)
