Thermal tolerance in salmonids

Creators

Description

Salmonids are known to be a fish of high commercial value. The global salmon fish market was estimated to be worth USD 14.87 million in 2021 (Grand View Research, 2020). At the same time, their populations are particularly sensitive to climate change, as they need specific temperature ranges for optimal growth, reproduction and survival. Elevated temperatures of streams,  sea surface as well as ocean acidification alongside the fishing industry, puts enormous pressure on their populations (Crozier, et al. 2020).  This dataset synthesises the thermal tolerance values (CTmax - Critical Thermal Maximum) of various salmon species in a wide range of geographical locations, allowing us to compare and determine the most vulnerable species in response to the increasing temperatures. 

Technical info (English)

Literature Search Protocol: 

  • Literature search was conducted using a variety of literature search engines like: "Web of Science", "Science Direct", "Google Scholar", "Scopus", "Research Gate"
  • A list of salmon species with their accepted and scientific name was compiled prior to the literature search. 
  • Keywords and phrases like "thermal tolerance", "CTmax", "Critical thermal tolerance", and "Maximum thermal tolerance" were used during the search process, alongside the specific Latin names of the salmon species  

Technical info

Dataset consists of:

  • Species scientific name in Latin, for example  Oncorhynchus mykiss
  • Species accepted name, for example Rainbow Trout 
  • Location - where was the study conducted, where was the investigated salmon species derived from 
  • Year of study
  • CTmin - critical minimum temperature 
  • CTmax - critical maximum temperature      *n/a - information not available 
  • Units - degrees Celcius 
  • Methods - brief description of the way the data was collected 
  • Paper - the references to the studies used to obtain the data
