Science Synthesis: Climate Change and Warmwater Species
Warmwater animal species—including freshwater fish, snails, mussels, and crayfish—can be loosely defined as those that prefer fairly high temperatures. Warmwater fish for example, have temperature preferences above about 77 degrees. Still, there are upper limits to the temperatures even warmwater species can live with, beyond which physiological processes break down and susceptibility to disease increases. Climate … Continue reading
