Abstract

A fish's environment is a complex system with varying water quality, temperature, light intensity, current velocity, aquatic vegetation, food availability and social interactions. The response of fishes to these changes assumes greater importance with large scale culture offish. In case of cultured species, man's interference is a major factor. Fishes are extensively and intensively reared in captivity, often submitted to confinement, handling, transportation and drug treatment. A valuable contribution from the field of biological sciences would be the accumulation of information on the physiological response of fish to these environmental changes.
