Effects of temperature and chloride salinity on the functional response of goldfish (Carassius auratus) - Biological Invasions Freshwater animals released into temperate urban environments are increasingly subjected to the effects of elevated water temperatures (via climate warming) and salinization (via road salt application...

New study from our lab: Feeding efficiency (trophic impact) of goldfish varies with combinations of thermal & salinity conditions typical of urban ponds in north temperate regions. Salinity enhances efficiency at temperatures below the thermal optimum of goldfish.
