Summary Aquatic chemical ecology is an important and growing field of research that involves understanding how organisms perceive respond to cues in their environment. Research assessing the preference or avoidance a water source containing specific has increased popularity recent years, variety methods have been described scientific literature. Two‐current choice flumes seen greatest increase popularity, perhaps because potential address broadest range questions. Here, we review literature...

Model organisms can be useful for studying climate change impacts, but it is unclear whether domestication to laboratory conditions has altered their thermal tolerance and therefore how representative of wild populations they are. Zebrafish in the live fluctuating environments that potentially reach harmful temperatures. In laboratory, zebrafish have gone through four decades adaptation stable optimal temperatures with few extremes. If maintaining costly or if genetic traits promoting...

Abstract Reliable abundance information is the foundation for managing aquatic resources. Species with low catchability are, however, often overlooked in monitoring programmes. Thus, governing bodies lack data necessary to make well‐informed management decisions. Environmental DNA (eDNA) can produce quantitative estimates of fish abundances, but precision varies greatly depending on species and system. It is, therefore, evaluate its performance investigate how biomass density affects eDNA...

Abstract European coastal waters have in recent years become more turbid as algal growth has increased, probably due to eutrophication, global warming and changes fish communities. Turbidity reduces visibility, such may turn affect animal behaviour well evolutionary processes that are dependent on visual stimuli. In this study we experimentally manipulated water visibility olfactory cues investigate mate choice using the sex role‐reversed broad‐nosed pipefish Syngnathus typhle our organism ....

Physiological mechanisms determining thermal limits in fishes are debated but remain elusive. It has been hypothesised that motor function loss, observed as loss of equilibrium during acute warming, is due to direct effects on brain neuronal function. To test this, we mounted cooling plates the heads Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and quantified whether local increased whole-organism upper tolerance. Brain reduced temperature by 2-6°C below ambient water tolerance 0.5 0.6°C average relative...

Zebrafish is one of the world's most widely used laboratory species, and it utilized to answer important research questions in disparate fields such as biomedicine, genetics, developmental biology, pharmacology, toxicology, physiology, evolution. Despite their popularity, very little known about biology zebrafish natural habitat. This may, part, be due difficulties associated with undertaking field trips remote areas northern India, Nepal, Bangladesh, which distribution range zebrafish....

Behavioural lateralization, the asymmetric expression of cognitive functions, is reported to enhance key fitness-relevant traits such as group coordination, multitasking and predator escape. Therefore, studies reporting negative effects on lateralization in fish due environmental stressors ocean acidification, hypoxia pollutants are worrisome. However, tend use a detour test focus population level measures, without validating whether consistent within individuals across time. We conducted...

Theoretical models predict that ocean acidification, caused by increased dissolved CO2, will reduce the maximum thermal limits of fishes, thereby increasing their vulnerability to rising temperatures and transient heatwaves. Here, we test this prediction in three species damselfishes on Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Maximum were quantified using critical maxima (CTmax) tests following acclimation either present-day or end-of-century levels CO2 for coral reef environments (∼500 ∼1,000 µatm,...

Abstract The roundscale spearfish ( Tetrapturus georgii ) is a poorly studied species with limited information available on its biology, ecology, and population status.

Critical thermal limits, commonly quantified as CTmax (maximum) or CTmin (minimum), are core metrics in the biology of aquatic ectotherms. CTmax, particular, has recently surged popularity due to its various applications, including understanding and predicting responses animals climate warming. Despite growing popularity, there is a limited literature aimed at establishing best practices for designing, running, reporting experiments. This lack standardisation insufficiently detailed creates...

Abstract Background Over the last decade, pharmaceutical pollution in aquatic ecosystems has emerged as a pressing environmental issue. Recent years have also seen surge scientific interest use of behavioural endpoints chemical risk assessment and regulatory activities, underscoring their importance for fitness survival. In this respect, data on how pharmaceuticals alter behaviour animals appears to grown rapidly. Despite this, there been notable absence systematic efforts consolidate...

Hydropower, utilized for centuries, is promoted globally as renewable energy. The perceived socio-economic benefits have often outweighed environmental concerns, reflected in operational permits. In 2022, Sweden began re-licensing approximately 2000 hydroelectric facilities under the National Plan Modern Environmental Conditions. We extracted data from 33 completed court cases, all involving relatively small hydropower facilities, with 22 resulting withdrawal and dam removal, 11 receiving...

Anthropogenic pharmaceutical pollutants have been detected in nature across the globe, and recent work has shown negative effects of pharmaceuticals on health welfare many animals. However, whether alterations can be reversed poorly investigated, although such studies are essential to assess high-peak exposure events waterways where concentrations usually low. In this study, we investigated two (environmentally relevant 1 μg L−1 high 100 L−1) oxazepam, an anxiolytic commonly aquatic...
