Climate change‐induced extreme temperature events are becoming more intense and
frequent. For fish, temperature is the master abiotic factor that controls and limits fish …

This review is focused on the questions of why fish exhibit heat failure at thermal extremes
and which physiological mechanisms determine the acute upper thermal tolerance. We …

Critical thermal maxima methodology (CTM) has been used to infer acute upper thermal
tolerance in fishes since the 1950s, yet its ecological relevance remains debated. In this …

Warming of aquatic environments as a result of climate change is already having
measurable impacts on fishes, manifested as changes in phenology, range shifts and …

Reproduction in fishes is sensitive to temperature. Elevated temperatures and anomalous
'heat waves' associated with climate change have the potential to impact fish reproductive …

Determining the resilience of a species or population to climate change stressors is an
important but difficult task because resilience can be affected both by genetically based …

Rising temperatures represent a significant threat to the survival of ectothermic animals. As
such, upper thermal limits represent an important trait to assess the vulnerability of …

How ectothermic animals will cope with global warming is a critical determinant of the
ecological impacts of climate change. There has been extensive study of upper thermal …

Salmonids are of immense socio‐economic importance in much of the world, but are
threatened by climate change. This has generated a substantial literature documenting the …

Thermal acclimation, a compensatory physiological response, is central to species survival
especially during the current era of global warming. By providing the most comprehensive …
