An integrated study to the effects of thermal acclimation in zebrafish

ABSTRACT: Changes in environmental temperature can profoundly change species habitats and result in populations facing suboptimal environments. Many aquatic organisms are restricted in terms of migration by their habitat requirements. Also due to anthropogenic migration barriers (both physical as well as chemical), organisms are often left with no choice but to acclimate (or, in the long run, adapt) to their changing environment. The scope of this study is to investigate thermal acclimation in zebrafish by combining data from several levels of biological organization. Zebrafish were acclimated to a higher temperature (8°C increase compared to controls) or a lower temperature (8°C decrease compared to controls) in an acute as well as a prolonged and a chronic scenario (4, 14 and 28 days).
