Metabolic Biochemistry, Vol 4. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Fishes

Elsevier Science and Technology, June 1995

This fourth volume in the series covers such topics as endogenous fuels, electric organs, histidine-related dipeptides, and origins of luciferins. The book will be invaluable to fisheries scientists, aquaculturists, and animal biochemists, physiologists and endocrinologists; it will provide researchers and students with a pertinent information source from theoretical and experimental angles.
