Low cardiac and aerobic scope in a coastal population of sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka with a short upriver migration.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study showed that a coastal population (Harrison) of Fraser River sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka had a lower aerobic and cardiac scope compared with interior populations with more challenging upriver spawning migrations, providing additional support to the idea that Fraser River O. nerka populations have adapted physiologically to their local migratory environment.

Differences in thermal tolerance among sockeye salmon populations.
Climate change-induced increases in summer water temperature have been associated with elevated mortality of adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) during river migration. We show that cardiorespiratory physiology varies at the population level among Fraser River sockeye salmon and relates to historical environmental conditions encountered while migrating. Fish from populations with more cha...
متن کاملPacific salmon in hot water: applying aerobic scope models and biotelemetry to predict the success of spawning migrations.
Concern over global climate change is widespread, but quantifying relationships between temperature change and animal fitness has been a challenge for scientists. Our approach to this challenge was to study migratory Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), fish whose lifetime fitness hinges on a once-in-a-lifetime river migration to natal spawning grounds. Here, we suggest that their thermal optimu...

Sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka cease foraging before entering freshwater (Brett 1995; Hinch et al. 2006), so they must complete migration, develop gonads and secondary sexual characters, and spawn using stored energy. Research examining energy use by sockeye salmon during upriver spawning migrations (Brett 1995; Hendry and Berg 1999; Crossin et al. 2004) has revealed that successful migrants...
متن کاملBehaviour and physiology of sockeye salmon homing through coastal waters to a natal river
Adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka, N = 179) from six Fraser River populations (British Columbia) were intercepted in continental shelf waters »215 km from the Fraser River mouth, gastrically implanted with acoustic transmitters, non-lethally biopsied for blood biochemistry, gill Na,K-ATPase activity and somatic energy density and then released. Migration behaviour and travel times to the...
متن کاملCardiorespiratory collapse at high temperature in swimming adult sockeye salmon
Elevated summer river temperatures are associated with high in-river mortality in adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) during their once-in-a-lifetime spawning migration up the Fraser River (British Columbia, Canada). However, the mechanisms underlying the decrease in whole-animal performance and cardiorespiratory collapse above optimal temperatures for aerobic scope (T opt) remain elusive...
