Effects of High Pressure on Biological Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Comparative and Environmental Physiology ((COMPARATIVE,volume 17))

Abstract

Relatively little is known about the effects of high pressure on fish. Mammals have attracted much more attention, serving as models for human divers. It is a curious fact that few marine biologists in general, and fish biologists in particular, have responded to the extraordinary range of interesting hyperbaric phenomena which fish present.
