Optimum growth temperature declines with body size within fish species

Max Lindmark et al.

Summary: According to the temperature-size rule, warming of aquatic ecosystems is predicted to increase individual growth rates while reducing body sizes of ectotherms. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how growth and key processes such as consumption and metabolism are affected by temperature and body mass within species. This study conducted a systematic review and compiled experimental data on fishes to examine the combined effects of body size and temperature on growth. The findings suggest that maximum consumption increases slower with body mass compared to metabolism and that optimum growth temperatures decline with body size. These findings are important for advancing mechanistic models of individual growth and food web dynamics and improving our understanding of the impacts of climate warming on aquatic ectotherms.

Linking environmental salinity to respiratory phenotypes and metabolic rate in fishes: a data mining and modelling approach

Till S. Harter et al.

Summary: The gill is the primary site of ionoregulation and gas exchange in adult teleost fishes. Differences in gill characteristics and hemoglobin-O2 affinities between freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) species affect oxygen diffusion and ion regulation, with FW fishes compensating for lower diffusive oxygen conductance with higher hemoglobin-O2 affinity. Both FW and SW teleosts can achieve similar maximal rates of oxygen consumption and hypoxia tolerance through different combinations of hemoglobin-O2 affinity and diffusive oxygen conductance. The relationship between aerobic performance and species distribution ranges is influenced by these factors, leading to novel hypotheses in fish physiology.

Body mass and cell size shape the tolerance of fishes to low oxygen in a temperature-dependent manner

Wilco C. E. P. Verberk et al.

Summary: This study assesses the variation in hypoxia tolerance observed in fishes within a phylogenetic context. It found that hypoxia tolerance has a clear phylogenetic signal and is affected by factors such as temperature, body mass, cell size, salinity, and metabolic rate. Marine fishes are more susceptible to hypoxia than freshwater fishes, and fishes with higher oxygen requirements are also more susceptible to hypoxia. Additionally, hypoxia and warming may act synergistically, leading to lower hypoxia tolerance in warmer waters.

Shrinking body sizes in response to warming: explanations for the temperature-size rule with special emphasis on the role of oxygen

Wilco C. E. P. Verberk et al.

Summary: Body size plays a central role in ecology, with temperature-induced variations in body size being of interest. The temperature-size rule states that warmer conditions tend to result in smaller body sizes at maturity. Oxygen limitation may play a significant role in this response.

Adam Hermaniuk et al.

Summary: The study found that temperature affects the costs and benefits of cell size, with animals composed of smaller cells being less vulnerable to oxygen limitation in warm water and animals composed of larger cells having metabolic advantages in cold water.

The gill-oxygen limitation theory (GOLT) and its critics

Daniel Pauly

Summary: The gill-oxygen limitation theory (GOLT) explains key mechanisms of water-breathing ectotherms, such as how lower oxygen supply leads to sexual maturation and cessation of growth. Further quantitative research is needed to solidify the theory and dispel misunderstandings.

Do aquatic ectotherms perform better under hypoxia after warm acclimation?

Michael Collins et al.

Summary: Aquatic ectotherms may experience changes in hypoxic performance due to climate warming and thermal acclimation. Most studies focus on testing hypoxic responses at temperatures matching organisms' acclimation temperatures, limiting the interpretation of thermal acclimation effects. Some studies suggest that warm acclimation may improve hypoxic performance in aquatic ectotherms.

'Aerobic scope protection' reduces ectotherm growth under warming

Fredrik Jutfelt et al.

Summary: The research proposes a hypothesis about water-breathing ectothermic animals, suggesting that they regulate peak specific dynamic action response during times of warming by reducing meal sizes to protect postprandial residual aerobic scope, leading to reductions in growth.

Respiratory capacity is twice as important as temperature in explaining patterns of metabolic rate across the vertebrate tree of life

Jennifer S. Bigman et al.

Summary: Research suggests that respiratory surface area plays a bigger role in explaining metabolic rate variation across vertebrates, compared to temperature. Understanding the combination of oxygen acquisition and transport helps in understanding the evolutionary history of metabolic rate.

Larger cells have relatively smaller nuclei across the Tree of Life

Martino E. Malerba et al.

Summary: By comparing data from nearly 900 species, the study found that as cell size increases, the ratio of nucleus size to cell size systematically decreases. The evolution of nucleus size appears more constrained compared to cell size, and the relationship in N:C ratios across diverse organisms presents a universal pattern.
