Fecundity is a key aspect of fish species reproductive biology because it relates directly to total egg production.
This social/ethnic aspect of fish consumption has been partly reflected by the observed association between fish consumption and alcohol drinking [ 12, 36].
Still, we do not know what aspect of fish consumption, particularly, marine fish consumption, confers the positive effect on fetal growth as reported by other investigators.
In studies, all the interdependent aspects of fish, such as behaviour, locomotion, reproduction, and physical and physiological characteristics, must be taken into account.
The ancient Greek naturalists, especially Aristotle, were highly knowledgeable about many aspects of fish biology, and until the end of the 19th century the main advances were in taxonomy, as new species were described and the relationships of those already known were clarified.
This chapter discusses the main aspects of fish lipid oxidation and its relevance to the seafood industry.
This article provides the background necessary to understand the detailed aspects of fish cardiovascular function described elsewhere.
Hygienic design of equipment is especially important for the fish industry because there are several aspects of fish processing that encourage bacterial spread and growth, of which the wet and humid environment is crucial.
The combination of elevated Se and Hg had a synergistic negative effect on all aspects of fish reproduction compared to those groups fed elevated levels of either Se or Hg.
The arginine vasotocin (AVT) neuroendocrine system clearly provides integrative regulation of many aspects of fish physiology and behaviour, including circadian and seasonal biology, responses to stress, metabolism, reproduction, cardiovascular function, and osmoregulation.
Several studies have been conducted under controlled conditions to evaluate these biological aspects of fish species exposed to OC, as fibrates, endocrine disrupting compounds, perfluoroalkyl acids, flame retardants, metals and mixtures of organic compounds associated with a polluted area.
