Sharks and Their Relatives II : Biodiversity, Adaptive Physiology, and Conservation.
Examines how elasmobranch fishes - the sharks, skates, rays, and chimaeras - successfully survive in a wide range of habitats. This title explores the physiological adaptations that make these animals particularly well suited for the range of habitats where they are found, in both oceanic and freshw...
