Histological Analysis of Endocrine Disruptive Effects in Small Laboratory Fish

This is a timely title assembling the combined knowledge of some of the leading authorities in the field of small fish reproduction - an important topic for risk assessment and registration of chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical compounds. It provides guidance on the microscopic structure of living tissue and evaluation of the reproductive glands of small laboratory fish. It includes state-of-the-art science along with sufficient anatomical and physiological background for understanding and interpreting test results. It helps standardize the interpretation of results from aquatic bioassays and field observations, which will also clarify inconsistencies in the current scientific literature.
