Effect of photoperiod on the temperature tolerance of the blacknose dace, Rhinichthys atratulus

The Hydrological Urban Heat Island: Determinants of Acute and Chronic Heat Stress in Urban Streams

“…For instance, acclimation temperatures in spring months would be lower, and water temperature surges could increase water temperatures beyond acclimated thermal tolerances and cause thermal stress. As an example, Terpin and Spotila (1976) found that blacknose dace — a species commonly found in the eastern U.S., where most of the investigated streams are — have smaller chances to survive if, after acclimating to 20°C for a month, it is exposed to temperatures equal to or larger than 31°C for two hours. In more extreme cases, they found that 39 min of exposure to temperatures larger than 31.5°C was lethal.…”

Seasonal variation in thermal tolerance, oxygen consumption, antioxidative enzymes and non-specific immune indices of Indian hill trout, Barilius bendelisis (Hamilton, 1807) from central Himalaya, India

“…Photoperiod has been suggested to be the principle acclimatization cue in many ectotherms (Bulger and Tremaine, 1985;Hutchison and Maness, 1979;Lutterschmidt andHutchison, 1997, Sanabria et al, 2012). Many workers reported changes in temperature tolerance of wild caught fish when controlled artificial photoperiod was provided in the laboratory conditions (Hoar and Robertson, 1959;Tyler, 1966;Terpin et al, 1976). Nevertheless, several authors also reported laboratory acclimated fish tolerance in different fishes species (Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhinus mrigala, Pangasius pangasius, Spinibarbus sinensis, Pelteobagrus vachelli, Silurus meridionalis and Schizothorax kozlovi) in which acclimation temperature plays important role in thermal tolerance Debnath et al, 2006;Wang, 2009;He et al, 2014).…”

First report on the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant Biological Monitoring and Abatement Program for East Fork Poplar Creek

“…6-14). Hart (1952) reported an ultimate upper lethal temperature of 29.3°C for this species, and Terpin et al (1976) reported incipient upper lethal temperatures of 28.8 and 29.8°C for short and long day lengths, respectively. Because maximum water temperatures below NHP exceed these thresholds during the summer months (…”
