Influences of thermal environment on fish growth
Thermoregulation in ectothermic animals is influenced by the ability to effectively respond to thermal variations. While it is known that ectotherms are affected by thermal changes, it remains unknown whether physiological and/or metabolic traits are impacted by modifications to the thermal environment. Our research provides key evidence that fish ectotherms are highly influenced by thermal var...
متن کاملEnvironment-genetic influences on immunocompetence.
The immunological responses of an animal are changing continually in response to perceived environmental changes. This is because the genetic background, the lifelong environment of animals and their interaction greatly influence immunological responsiveness. An animal's genetic background influences all factors related to immunocompetence. Among these are age of onset of immunocompetence, resp...
متن کاملEnvironmental influences on larval duration, growth and magnitude of settlement of a coral reef fish
The influence of environmental variables on the planktonic growth, pelagic larval duration and settlement magnitude was examined for the coral reef surgeonfish Acanthurus chirurgus. Newly settled fish were collected daily from patch reefs in the San Blas Archipelago, Caribbean Panama for 3.5 years. Environmental influences on growth were examined at three different life history stages: from 0 t...
متن کاملGrowth trajectory influences temperature preference in fish through an effect on metabolic rate
Most animals experience temperature variations as they move through the environment. For ectotherms, in particular, temperature has a strong influence on habitat choice. While well studied at the species level, less is known about factors affecting the preferred temperature of individuals; especially lacking is information on how physiological traits are linked to thermal preference and whether...
متن کاملEnvironmental influences on the epigenomes of herpetofauna and fish.
Herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles) and fish represent important sentinel and indicator species for environmental and ecosystem health. It is widely accepted that the epigenome plays an important role in gene expression regulation. Environmental stimuli, including temperature and pollutants, influence gene activity, and there is growing evidence demonstrating that an important mechanism is t...
