Description :
The extreme seasonal fluctuations in discharge of tropical rivers, through the effects on fish habitat availability and habitat conditions, have produced a range in preferred habitat types among riverine fishes. The AA. suggest that initial assessment of potential effects of climate change on tropical freshwater fishes should focus on changes to water quantity variables in riverine environments.
