Abstract
Electrophysiological recording is a useful method to study the basic physiological activities of fish, such as respiration and nerve conduction. Neuro-electrophysiological recordings have been widely used to investigate the effects of physical factors (sound, light, electricity, and pH) and chemical factors (chemical pollutants) on the sensory system and behavior of fish. This chapter mainly introduces the development of neural electrophysiology in fish, including the basic equipment and the basic process.
