"The volume has been carefully edited so that each of the 10 chapters that cover a type of extremophilia touches on a similar set of points. ... The strengths of this book include its emphasis on integrative combinations of disciplines in each chapter, the breadth of interesting case studies, and the diverse expertise of the authors. ... I recommend it to anyone building a library on research in fishes." (Eric T. Schultz, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 90 (4), December, 2015)
