The tropical environment is unique due to its geographic location, climatic features, intense solar radiation, high temperature, heavy precipitation, less seasonal variation, enhanced food and productivity, faster metabolism, ecological dynamics and co-evolutionary processes that favor niches for specialized species. It also provides the richest biodiversity with endemic fish species that support millions of people in rural areas. This book Aquatic Sciences in the Tropics: Inland Waters, Domain and Nutrient Geochemistry comprises nine primary chapters that address various topics.
