Preface

TL;DRAbstract

This book originated from a symposium on Aquatic Toxicology at the Easter meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology at the University of Kent in Canterbury in 1993. It is in some respects a sequel to the volume entitled Acid Toxicity and Aquatic Animals (Seminar Series volume 34), as it is soft, acid waters into which toxic metal ions are leached from rocks and industrial waste. In this previous volume the role of aluminium in determining acid toxicity was discussed, and this account is extended into the current volume and amplified by consideration of the mechanisms of toxicity of other metal species and of the aromatic hydrocarbons, at low to sublethal levels. New approaches to the problem of pollution monitoring are considered, including the construction of large-scale models for the exchange of xenobiotics between fish and their environment, and the alternative use of sensitive cellular and molecular markers of pollution. A contemporary account of this general area is also pr
