Temperature variation is affecting fish biodiversity worldwide, causing changes in geographic distribution, phenotypic structure, and even species extinction. Incubation is a critical stage for stenothermic species, which are vulnerable to large temperature fluctuations, and its effects on the phenotype at later developmental stages are understudied, despite the fact that the phenotype being essential for organism ecology and evolution. In this study, we tested the effects of heat shocks during the embryonic period on the phenotype of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus).

We present two datasets composed of high frequency sensors data, vertical profiles and laboratory chemical analysis data, acquired during two different aquatic mesocosm experiments performed at the OLA ("Long-term observation and experimentation for lake ecosystems") facility at the UMR CARRTEL in Thonon les Bains, on the French shore of Lake Geneva. The DOMLAC experiment lasted 3 weeks (4-21 October 2021) and aimed to simulate predicted climate scenarios (i.e.

This dataset complement a previously published dataset [1] and corresponds to the physico-chemical parameters data series produced during the MESOLAC experimental project [2]. The presented dataset is composed of: 1. profiles (0-3m) of temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen (concentration and saturation).

This dataset corresponds to a data series produced from automated data loggers during the MESOLAC experimental project. Nine pelagic mesocosms (about 3000 L, 3 m depth) were deployed in July 2019 in Lake Geneva near the shore of Thonon les Bains (France), simulating predicted climate scenarios (i.e.

In agriculture, diversifying production implies picking up, in the wild biodiversity, species or populations that can be domesticated and fruitfully produced. Two alternative approaches are available to highlight wild candidate(s) with high suitability for aquaculture: the single-trait (i.e.
