Effects of chronic, sublethal ferric iron exposure on the critical swim speed of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and critical thermal maximum of cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii)
… Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) critical swim speed (Ucrit) was measured to establish if there was a relationship between chronic sublethal ferric iron exposure and changes in Ucrit. The gills were examined for histological changes and fish growth was measured as endpoints. No …

Tolerating climate change: a study on the influence of thermal history on thermal tolerance of Galaxias zebratus in rivers of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa
… fish, like G. zebratus, may be sensitive to the thermal regime of their environment and may thus be influenced by climate warming. The most commonly used experimental approach for determining the effect of elevated temperature on freshwater biota is the Critical Thermal Method (CTM). The CTM …

The influence of environmental temperature on the thermal tolerance of Antarctic notothenioid fishes
… Ocean has resulted in a remarkably narrow thermal tolerance shared among most extant species. While most of these fishes have the capacity to accommodate the physiological challenges of low temperature, they show a greatly reduced tolerance to heat relative to fishes native to warmer …

The influence of spatiotemporal variation in ambient temperature on the ecology and physiology of birds
… variation in ambient temperature is related to thermal physiology is the climatic variability hypothesis (CVH), which predicts that thermal tolerance breadth should increase with increasing levels of temperature variability. Studies documenting latitudinal increases in the thermal tolerance …

The responses of subtropical nearshore fishes to climate change
… and frequency. Nearshore ecosystems serve as critical habitat for juvenile fishes (e.g., schoolmaster snapper, yellowfin mojarra) and function as foraging grounds for adults (e.g., bonefish, checkered puffer), yet it is unclear how nearshore fishes will respond to forecasted increases in …
