PREFACE
Fish are so important in our lives that they have been used in thousands
of different laboratories worldwide to understand and protect our environment;
to understand and ascertain the foundation of vertebrate evolution; to
understand and recount the history of vertebrate colonization of isolated
pristine environments; and to understand the adaptive mechanisms to extreme
environmental conditions. More importantly, fish are one of the most important
sources of protein for the human kind. Efforts at all levels have been made to
increase fish production and, undoubtedly, the biology of fish, especially the
biology of unknown species, has much to contribute.
As we prepare this brief introduction to the “Advances in Fish Biology
Symposium,” we are including 48 oral and poster papers on a diverse range of
species, covering a number of topics. From the description of new tropical fish
species to the hardy nature of fish species of the Amazon, from the chromatic
organization of the retina of salmon to the relationship between flood pulse
and fish biology in the Pantanal, from fish as environmental biomarkers to pain
perception in fish, this symposium is a “voyage” across the world of fish
biology.
The contributions are stimulating and we sincerely wish to thank all the
investigators who contributed to this symposium. We hope that your
participation result in new insights and new approaches of fish biology and so
contribute to the advancement of this central theme of our lives. We wish that
all contributors and participants have a productive meeting.
