What is so special about the circadian biological clock in fish? Where is it located - in the retina, inside the brain, or in the pineal? What is the molecular basis of its function? How is the clock able to keep time in the absence of environmental cues? This book shows that the fish provide a unique model of the circadian biological clock.
