The book aims to review and summarize the data on metal toxicity to fish, published over the last 30 years (from over nine hundred publications). Low concentrations of metals are normal constituents of all natural waters, and some of them, including copper, zinc or manganese, are essential for fish. The increasing water pollution due to various human activities, however, has led to a considerable increase of metal levels in many water bodies. High concentrations of metals - also essential ones - are toxic to aquatic biota including fish. A critical examination of the data obtained by many authors has allowed to explain some typical changes and reactions of fish to metal toxicity
