Examining the northward shift in the distribution of African fishes in association with climate change
REFNo: NS345ES

To understand how climate is affecting the physiology and distribution of tropical fishes.

Specifically;
- To quantify the thermal limits and hypoxia tolerance of tropical fishes and the degree to which these limits are plastic
- To understand and predict how tropical fishes will respond to climate change – either via persistence in situ or changing their distribution by moving to more favourable thermal/oxygen regimes.
