The Encyclopedia is structured in 3 volumes with 4 major sections that group topics and chapters thematically. This mirrors the structure of the first edition, but some topics have been reorganized and some new topics introduced.

* indicates a change from the original edition.

Volume 1: The Senses, Integrating Systems*, Behaviour, and Reproduction ? this volume is about how fish interface with the world

- Sensing the Environment

e.g. the brain and nervous system, vision, hearing and the lateral line, electroreception, olfaction

- Endocrine and Immune* Systems

e.g. introduction to major hormone systems and their role in regulating physiological processes

- Behavioural Physiology

e.g. predator/prey, reproductive behaviours*, dominance, schooling*, sleep, communication*

- Reproduction

e.g. reproductive strategies*, sex differentiation, early development*

Volume 2: Gas and Ion Exchange, Circulatory System, Energetics*, and Movement* ? this volume is about how fish function internally

- Gas Exchange and Ion homeostasis

e.g. respiration, osmoregulation, acid/base balance, structure and function of the gills and kidneys

- The Heart, Vasculature, and Blood

e.g. comparative morphology, regulation of heart function, retes, blood cells, Root effect

- Energy Homeostasis

e.g. food intake, digestive system, metabolism, excretion

- Muscles and Movement

e.g. musculoskeletal system, biomechanics of swimming, locomotion, migration

Volume 3: Adaptations, Specializations, and Applications ? this volume establishes the importance of fish physiology by placing it in the context of other disciplines

- Responses and Adaptations to the Environment

e.g. hypoxia, thermal acclimation, seawater transition, bioluminescence

- Life in Extreme Environments*

e.g. complete darkness (cavefish), subzero temperature (icefish), alkaline lakes (cichlids), intertidal fish

- Physiological Specializations of Different Fish Groups

e.g. deep sea fish, air-breathing fish, elasmobranchs

- Applications of Fish Physiology

e.g. biomedical applications (neuroscience*, regeneration*, disease models), food science* (aquaculture; petri dish sushi), toxicology, climate change*, conservation physiology*
