Assessing potential effects of global climate change on tropical freshwater fishes
Asia ; Biogeography ; Climatic variation ; Ecosystem ; Fish ; Fresh water ; Global change ; Tropical zone
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.
Tools for assessing the impact of climate change on freshwater fish populations

The AA. examine the use of bioenergetic models to predict the impact of climate change on the growth of individual fish and the use of thermal habitat models to assess the impact of climate change on population abundance. They examine also the use

The AA. review the thermal requirements for growth in catfish and examine the role that climate (air temperature and precipitation) plays in limiting the distribution of profitable fish farms. A model is constructed from these relationships which
