Thermal tolerance and potential impacts of climate change on coastal and estuarine organisms (original) (raw)
Abstract
The study of thermal tolerance is the first step to understanding species vulnerability to climate warming. This work aimed to determine the upper thermal limits of various fish and crustaceans in a temperate estuarine ecosystem and an adjacent coastal area. Species were ranked in terms of thermal tolerance and intraspecific variability was evaluated. The method used was the Critical Thermal Maximum (CTMax).
