Abstract

Ocean warming, driven by current anthropogenic climate change, affects the physiological responses of marine ectotherms, including Sphoeroides annulatus (bullseye puffer fish), a fish with aquaculture potential. This subtropical-tropical fish inhabits shallow estuarine and coastal environments along the eastern Pacific and is exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations and marine heatwaves, which may threaten its distribution and cultivation. This study aimed to determine thermal tolerance (CTmax and CTmin), thermal polygon area, acclimation capacity via the acclimation response ratio (ARR), thermal safety margins (TSM), and plasticity of the thermal metabolic scope (TMS) of S. annulatus juveniles. Prior to experiments, juveniles (N = 300) were acclimated to five temperatures (20, 23, 26, 29, and 32 °C ± 1 °C) for 30 days. CTmax ranged from 37.8 to 41.4 °C and CTmin from 12.0 to 18.7 °C. The thermal polygon area (293.0°C2) indicated moderately eurythermal behavior, consistent with the species’ broad distribution. ARR values ranged from 0.2 to 0.4 for CTmax and 0.1 to 0.9 for CTmin, suggesting greater plasticity to cold than to warm conditions. Present and future TSM estimates suggest that S. annulatus populations in tropical zones may be more vulnerable to ocean warming than those in subtropical regions. The highest TMS values—an indicator of aerobic capacity—were observed in juveniles acclimated at 23–26 °C, indicating that this temperature range may represent a thermally favorable condition for maximizing aerobic performance. This study provides insight into the physiological limits of S. annulatus under ocean warming conditions and helps define optimal conditions to improve juvenile growth in aquaculture systems.
具有养殖潜力的环纹虾幼鱼的耐热性和代谢范围
由当前人为气候变化驱动的海洋变暖影响了海洋变温动物的生理反应,包括具有水产养殖潜力的环斑鲀(bullseye puulatus)。这种亚热带热带鱼生活在东太平洋沿岸的浅水河口和沿海环境中,容易受到极端温度波动和海洋热浪的影响,这可能威胁到其分布和养殖。本研究旨在通过驯化响应比(ARR)、热安全边际(TSM)和热代谢范围(TMS)的可塑性来确定环斑竹幼鱼的热耐受性(CTmax和CTmin)、热多边形面积、驯化能力。实验前,将300只幼鱼分别在5种温度(20、23、26、29和32℃±1℃)下驯化30天。CTmax为37.8 ~ 41.4°C, CTmin为12.0 ~ 18.7°C。热多边形面积(293.0°C2)表现为中等偏热行为,与物种的广泛分布相一致。CTmax的ARR值为0.2 ~ 0.4,CTmin的ARR值为0.1 ~ 0.9,表明CTmax对寒冷的适应性大于对温暖的适应性。目前和未来的TSM估计表明,热带地区的环纹海螺种群可能比亚热带地区的环纹海螺种群更容易受到海洋变暖的影响。在23-26°C驯化的幼鱼中观察到最高的TMS值(有氧能力的一个指标),表明这个温度范围可能代表了最大化有氧性能的热有利条件。本研究揭示了海洋变暖条件下环斑马鱼(S. annulatus)的生理极限,有助于确定水产养殖系统中改善幼鱼生长的最佳条件。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are: • The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature • The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature • Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause • Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span • Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment • The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man • Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature • Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever • Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia Article types: • Original articles • Review articles
