Freshwater fish are more resilient to rising temperatures than marine fish, ecologists find

Fish that live in rivers, ditches, and streams are better able to withstand warming water than fish in the sea. This is the conclusion of research by ecologist Wilco Verberk of Radboud University. "It is important not to group freshwater and marine fish together when predicting the consequences of climate-change-driven warming."
