From gametogenesis to spawning: How climate‐driven warming affects teleost reproductive biology

M Alix, OS Kjesbu, KC Anderson - Journal of Fish Biology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Ambient temperature modulates reproductive processes, especially in poikilotherms such as

Smaller adult fish size in warmer water is not explained by elevated metabolism

HF Wootton, JR Morrongiello, T Schmitt… - Ecology …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Fish and other ectotherms living in warmer waters often grow faster as juveniles, mature
earlier, but become smaller adults. Known as the temperature‐size rule (TSR), this pattern is …

V Thunell, A Gårdmark, M Huss, Y Vindenes - Ecology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Body size–dependent physiological effects of temperature influence individual growth,
reproduction, and survival, which govern animal population responses to global warming …

Supplemental oxygen does not improve growth but can enhance reproductive capacity of fish

MR Skeeles, H Scheuffele… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Fish tend to grow faster as the climate warms but attain a smaller adult body size following
an earlier age at sexual maturation. Despite the apparent ubiquity of this phenomenon …
