Epigenetic patterns in Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus): Temperature and photoperiod as environmental stressors during larval development

J. Kho,
M. L. Delgado,
G. R. McCracken
et al.

Abstract: Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying individual responses to environmental changes is crucial for species conservation and management. Pelagic fishes including Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) are of particular interest because of their key ecological and economic roles and their susceptibility to a changing ocean from global warming. Temperature and photoperiod have been linked with spawning time and location in adult herring, but no study has thus far investigated the role of environmental fac… Show more

“…Temperature has a particularly strong influence on the physiology of early life stages of marine species which, due to physiological constrains and high mortality during this phase, are particularly sensitive to thermal conditions (Dahlke et al., 2020; Marr, 1956). Indeed, temperature has been shown to also have a strong influence on the epigenome of Atlantic herring larvae by affecting DNA methylation patterns (Kho et al., 2023). Thus, temperature, or associated factors, may constitute an important selective pressure for herring larvae.…”
