The Importance of Thermal Habitat Quality for Pumpkinseed (Centrarchidae: Lepomis gibbosus) in Small and Constructed Coastal Embayments Along the Northwest Shoreline of Lake Ontario
… or modified to restore warmwater fish habitat. I describe how Lake Ontario (hereafter the Lake) alters the thermal regime of these small coastal embayments, how the altered thermal regimes affect growth and survival of age-0 warmwater fishes, and how the thermal habitat quality for such …

Evaluation and Use of Stream Temperature Prediction Models for Instream Flow and Fish Habitat Management
… release regimes, illustrated potential thermal habitat improvement for brown trout (Salmo trutta) compared to existing conditions. A 7-day/week morning 1 hr release was determined to best concurrently increase occurrence of brown trout optimal growth temperatures (+10.2% mean), decrease …

Vulnerability analysis and new tools for climate change adaptation of marine and lagoon systems
… coasts of Sardinia. The construction of monthly thermal habitat suitability maps for a reference period (1987-2019) and future sea warming scenarios up to 2050 (SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5) for each species, allowed me to identify how the potential thermal habitat suitability could change for species …

The thermal tolerances and preferences of native fishes in the Cape Floristic Region: towards understanding the effect of climate change on native fish species
… greatest threats to native fish biodiversity are habitat degradation and invasion by non-native species, predicted climate change is likely to further impact fish communities negatively. As a master abiotic variable in aquatic ecosystems; temperature influences the fitness, behaviour, and …

Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Summer Habitat Use in Lake Spokane, Washington
… temperatures, due to climate change, reducing thermal habitat for cold-water fish species. Rainbow Trout are sensitive to changes in their habitat and prefer water temperatures < 20 °C and DO levels ≥ 5.0 mg/L. The overarching goal of this study is to document Rainbow Trout movements in an …
