The gill-oxygen limitation theory (GOLT) provides mechanisms for key aspects of the biology
(food conversion efficiency, growth and its response to temperature, the timing of maturation …

This review is focused on the questions of why fish exhibit heat failure at thermal extremes
and which physiological mechanisms determine the acute upper thermal tolerance. We …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Intraspecific variation in key traits such as tolerance of warming can have profound effects
on ecological and evolutionary processes, notably responses to climate change. The …

One of the main expected responses of marine fishes to ocean warming is decrease in body
size, as supported by evidence from empirical data and theoretical modeling. The theoretical …

Warming of aquatic environments as a result of climate change is already having
measurable impacts on fishes, manifested as changes in phenology, range shifts and …

Some recent modelling papers projecting smaller fish sizes and catches in a warmer future
are based on erroneous assumptions regarding (i) the scaling of gills with body mass and …

According to the temperature‐size rule, warming of aquatic ecosystems is generally
predicted to increase individual growth rates but reduce asymptotic body sizes of …

Global seawater temperatures are increasing and becoming more variable, with
consequences for all marine animals including those in food production systems. In several …

Current understanding of animal population responses to rising temperatures is based on
the assumption that biological rates such as metabolism, which governs fundamental …
