Abstract

[Extract] Can your home make you tougher? For one of North America’s most well-known cold-water fish, it just might. A recent study by Trent University researchers (Stewart et al., 2024) found that a brook trout’s (Salvelinus fontinalis) ‘home’ plays an important role in how it copes with heat: trout have a greater tolerance to elevated water temperatures if they have been exposed to warmer stream temperatures in the weeks leading up to the heat. As climate change heats up waters across the globe, these past experiences could be the key to their survival.
