In the compiling of this book the vast literature dealing with the descriptivemorphology histology and cytology of teleost development has been combed andintegrated. The book is divided into 21 chapters starting with the egg andembryonic development up to hatching. This is followed by a description ofectodermal mesodermal and entodermal derivatives and the development ofvarious organs. The subject index species index and the abundant illustrationsadd extra value to this long awaited book. Developmental Biology of TeleostFishes will be a valuable tool for scientists and students in the fields ofbiology developmental biology molecular biology and fish biology. TOCSeriesEditors Preface.
