Fish physiology. Volume XI, The physiology of developing fish. Part B, Viviparity and posthatching juveniles /
FROM THE PREFACE: Dramatic changes occur in the physiology of most animals during their development. Among the vertebrates, birds are entirely oviparous, live for variable periods in a cleidoic egg, and show fundamental alterations in excretion, nutrition, and respiration at the time of hatching. In...
