Climate change will likely have profound effects on cold-water species of freshwater fishes. As temperatures rise, cold-water fish distributions may shift and contract in response. Predicting the effects of projected stream warming in stream networks is complicated by the generally poor correlation between water temperature and air temperature. Spatial dependencies in stream networks are comple...

We investigated the regulation of the muscarinic cholinergic receptor (MChR) in brain from seven species of fish, two surrogates and five threatened or endangered species exposed to a series of chemicals as a measure of compensatory response among species. Fish were classified as either cold water (rainbow trout-surrogate, apache trout, lahanton trout) or warm water (fathead minnow-surrogate, r...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) promises to ease noninvasive quantification of fish biomass or abundance, but its integration within conservation and fisheries management is currently limited by a lack of understanding of the influence of eDNA collection method and environmental conditions on eDNA concentrations in water samples. Water temperature is known to influence the metabolism of fish and conse...

Intensive aquaculture is adopted by more and more fish farms in China. This paper focuses on the typical water monitoring and controlling methods in intensive fish culture in Chinese fish farms. The paper illustrates the main factors in fish culturing and the way to control them: dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, PH, particulate matter and ammonium.

In this research, growth rate, blood parameters and proximate composition of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) cultured in brackish and freshwater were evaluated. Two treatments (brackish and freshwater) in 3 replications were investigated. Six 1.5 m³ fiberglass tanks were used for this experiment, containing 180 rainbow trout specimens with average weight of 47.2±0.1g. Feeding rate in trea...

Habitat selection is a complex process, which involves behavioural decisions guided by the multiple needs and constraints faced by individuals. Climate-induced changes in environmental conditions may alter those trade-offs and resulting habitat use patterns. In this study, we investigated the effect of sea temperature on habitat selection and habitat use of acoustically tagged Atlantic cod (Gad...

Objective: We prospectively evaluated the association between intakes of 1) Alpha-linolenic (ALA; 18:3n-3) [plant, like flax seed, omega-3] 2) Eicosapentaenoic (EPA; 20:5n-3) [fish omega-3] 3) Docosahexaenoic (DHA; 22:6n-3) [fish and cold water algae omega-3] 4) Linoleic (LA; 18:2n-6) [plant omega-6, like corn, sunflower, safflower, peanut, soy oils] 5) Arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6) [animal om...
