Overview

Aquatic animals are organisms adapted to living in aquatic environments, including both freshwater and marine habitats. They have a wide diversity of species, ranging from microscopic plankton to large marine mammals. Adaptations to aquatic life vary widely but often include streamlined body shapes for efficient movement through water and specialised respiratory systems suited to extracting oxygen dissolved in water. Aquatic animals exhibit diverse feeding strategies, from filter-feeding on microscopic organisms to predation on other aquatic species. They often possess sensory adaptations such as specialised eyes for underwater vision and lateral lines for detecting vibrations and movement in the water. These adaptations enable aquatic animals to exploit various niches within aquatic ecosystems, contributing to ecosystem dynamics, nutrient cycling and biodiversity in aquatic habitats worldwide. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of aquatic animals. The topics included in this book on aquatic animals are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to the readers. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post-graduate students.
