Article Synopsis
- Heart failure due to heat stress is a significant concern for aquatic ectotherms, and mitochondrial dysfunction may play a key role in this issue.
- The study focused on the thermal sensitivity of cardiac mitochondria in three-spined stickleback fish, examining factors like temperature, fatty acid composition, and age.
- Results showed that while temperature strongly affected mitochondrial respiration, fish age also influenced it, revealing higher EPA levels in older fish but no direct correlation with critical thermal maximum (CTmax).
Knowledge of the larval ecology of winter-spawning fish from the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, remains scarce due to the seasonal ice cover that prevents ichthyoplankton sampling using conventional methods. Two winter-spawning species, Atlantic halibut (AH, Hippoglossus hippoglossus) and Greenland halibut (GH, Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), support the most important groundfish fisheries of this area.
