“…Those results are particularly surprising in view of the fact that water temperatures are warmer during the early life of a late-hatched fish than during the early life of a n early-hatched fish. Bengtson and Barkman (1981) found that growth of M. menidia increased with increased water temperature when food supply is held constant. Other explanations for the larger size of early-hatched fish may be larger size at hatching or a more abundant food supply.…”

Resource overlap values were calculated for habitat and food utilization by Menidia menidia and M. beryllina in 2 Rhode Island estuaries (USA). Habitat overlap was nearly complete during spring, but declined during summer and fall. Food overlap varied greatly throughout the year. The 2 species coexist because they: (a) overlap strongly in both food and habitat utilization only when food is abundant, and (b) have evolved different spawning times and different growth rates. M. menidia grows to a larger body size than M. beryllina and can utilize different habitats and foods when zoopla.nkton becomes scarce. Time of hatching of each species in the upper estuary was related to cycles of zooplankton abundance M. menidia larvae probably have a substantial predatory impact on zooplankton In the upper estuary during June of each year.

“…In October, fish were not significantly larger at stations I, III, and IV. While we do not have enough data to appropriately assess whether differences between the 1962 and 2010–2012 datasets are real, there is experimental evidence that increasing water temperature exerts a strong positive effect on Menidia menidia and, at least, very young Menidia beryllina [ 53 , 54 ] and that this is particularly true at higher latitudes [ 55 ]. If Menidia are growing faster in our intertidal waters, then we would expect them to be bigger in the summer months.…”

Preliminary Evidence for the Amplification of Global Warming in Shallow, Intertidal Estuarine Waters

et al. 2015

Over the past 50 years, mean annual water temperature in northeastern U.S. estuaries has increased by approximately 1.2°C, with most of the warming recorded in the winter and early spring. A recent survey and synthesis of data from four locations in Southern Rhode Island has led us to hypothesize that this warming may be amplified in the shallow (<1 m), nearshore portions of these estuaries. While intertidal areas are not typically selected as locations for long-term monitoring, we compiled data from published literature, theses, and reports that suggest that enhanced warming may be occurring, perhaps at rates three times higher than deeper estuarine waters. Warmer spring waters may be one of the factors influencing biota residing in intertidal regions both in general as well as at our specific sites. We observed greater abundance of fish, and size of Menidia sp., in recent (2010–2012) seine surveys compared to similar collections in 1962. While any linkages are speculative and data are preliminary, taken together they suggest that shallow intertidal portions of estuaries may be important places to look for the effects of climate change.
