Abstract

Rummer discusses the impact of Jones and Randall's chapter “The respiratory and circulatory systems during exercise” in Fish Physiology, Volume VII published in 1978. This classic contribution established a foundational framework in the field of fish physiology and the series of books of the same name and, as a result, has been pivotal in shaping research trajectories for decades. In this chapter, Jones and Randall define exercise as the quintessential, unifying stressor that is encountered by all animals and a principle that has become a focal point for extensive research across diverse taxa, habitats, populations, and environmental conditions. From a personal perspective, Jones and Randall's cornerstone work in exercise physiology in fishes has been instrumental in guiding my own research into the remarkable parallels between the athletic prowess of fish and human athletes. Indeed, it has catalyzed a career-long pursuit to understand the endurance, performance, and adaptations of these aquatic athletes, uncovering similarities that resonate beyond their aquatic environments and reflecting broader principles of resilience and vulnerability. This approach has not only shaped my research focus but has also helped me enhance my public engagement and deepen my understanding of the intricate dynamics at play within aquatic ecosystems.
