This course will cover advanced topics on the physiology of fishes, their implications, and applications. We will examine features both common and distinctive, and survey the adaptations of fishes at different levels of biological organization which have allowed them to become by far the most species-rich vertebrate taxa. Maintenance of homeostasis under an array of stressors will be an overarching theme. Through literature review and a final project, students will gain an appreciation for, understanding of, and ability to formulate controlled scientific experiments to generate new knowledge about how fishes function.
