Impact of future climate change on water temperature and thermal habitat for keystone fishes in the Lower Saint John River, Canada (2018)
Journal Article
Dugdale, S. J., Curry, R. A., St-Hilaire, A., & Andrews, S. N. (2018). Impact of future climate change on water temperature and thermal habitat for keystone fishes in the Lower Saint John River, Canada. Water Resources Management, 32(15), 4853-4878. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11269-018-2057-7

Water temperature is a key determinant of biological processes in rivers. Temperature in northern latitude rivers is expected to increase under climate change, with potentially adverse consequences for cold water-adapted species. In Canada, little is...

Understanding summertime thermal refuge use by adult Atlantic salmon using remote sensing, river temperature monitoring, and acoustic telemetry (2018)
Journal Article
Frechette, D. M., Dugdale, S. J., Dodson, J. J., & Bergeron, N. E. (2018). Understanding summertime thermal refuge use by adult Atlantic salmon using remote sensing, river temperature monitoring, and acoustic telemetry.

Adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) return to natal rivers several months before spawning and during summer can be subjected to temperatures that exceed their upper temperature tolerance limits. Salmon use thermal refuges to minimize exposure to high...
