“…Teletchea et al (2009b) estimate the optimum temperature for the larva at 20.5°C. Ginot et al (1996) found optimum temperatures for the juvenile stage between 7°C and 27°C on the Rhône. The most information available for the gudgeon bears on the adult stage: its lower optimum temperature has been put at 7°C (Ginot et al, 1996 on the Rhône) and its upper boundary temperature at 30°C (Kryzhanovskii, 1949 in Alabaster andLloyd, 1982;Elliott, 1981in Küttel et al, 2002.…”

“…Philippart et al (1989) evaluate the time between egg-laying and hatching of the larval stage at 150 degree days, a value much lower than the 21 days at 25°C proposed by two authors Zarski et al, 2008). The optimum range for the juvenile is considered to be the same as for the larva, which corresponds well to the tolerances found on the Rhône (Ginot et al, 1996). The maximum upper boundary is taken as identical to that for the adult (30°C).…”

“…For the adult stage, the optimum is between 10°C and 18°C (Ginot et al, 1996;Fishbase), with extremes of 1.9°C to 4°C for the minimum temperature (Bohl et al, 2004) and 27°C for the maximum (Stankovitch, 1921;Ginot et al, 1996). Lastly, reproduction occurs between 12°C (Natura 2000) and 15°C (Bohl et al, 2004), with an extreme maximum temperature estimated at 19°C (Bohl et al, 2004).…”

“…The larvae also appears to tolerate temperatures up to 10°C (Schiemer et al, 2004). In view of fishing results on the Rhône, Ginot et al (1996) establish optimum temperatures for nase juveniles between 7°C and 27°C. It seems more realistic to put these temperatures within a more limited range, comparable to that for the embryo, between 15°C and 25°C (Kamler et al, 1998;Penáz, 1974bin Schiemer et al, 2003Teletchea et al, 2009b).…”

The effects of industrial cooling water on fish communities were widely debated at the end of the seventies, when large thermal power plants were being developed. This led to numerous research programs on thermal tolerance in fish. The recent warming climatic period and especially the 2003 heat wave have brought thermal biology back to center stage. The work presented here has consisted in analyzing historical and contemporary literature to update basic knowledge on thermal tolerances of 19 riverine fish species. These data were then validated and completed by European fish specialists. We finally proposed a synthesis, based on more than 300 references, which details thermal tolerances for the entire life cycle: reproduction, embryonic, larval, juvenile and adult life stages. This updated material is of great importance to an understanding of the trends observed in fish communities or for forecasting future behavior in climate change scenarios. RÉSUMÉSynthèse des tolérances thermiques des espèces de poissons communes des rivières et fleuves de plaine de l'ouest européen L'effet de l'élévation de température des cours d'eau a été largement débattu à la fin des années 70 qui ont connu le développement des centrales thermiques de grande puissance. Ces études ont généré alors de nombreux programmes de recherche sur la tolérance thermique des poissons, dont les résultats sont parfois oubliés ou difficiles à rassembler. Le réchauffement climatique actuel et en particulier l'épisode caniculaire de 2003 a mis de nouveau ce thème sur le devant de la scène. Le travail de synthèse présenté a consisté à analyser des données historiques et contemporaines de la littérature, afin de mettre à jour les connaissances de base sur les tolérances thermiques de 19 espèces de poissons d'eau douce. Cette synthèse a ensuite été validée et complétée par des spécialistes européens. Elle s'est appuyée sur plus de 300 références qui détaillent les tolérances thermiques de chacun des stades du cycle de vie des espèces étudiées : reproduction et stades embryonnaire, larvaire, juvénile et adulte. Cette mise à jour est essentielle pour comprendre les tendances d'évolution déjà constatées des communautés de poissons et prévoir les futures évolutions en fonction de différents scénarios de changement climatique.

Understanding the thermal regime of rivers is a key issue for predicting ecosystem change in the context of global warming. However, water temperature is not only influenced by air temperature. To better highlight relative contribution of factors controlling water temperature, we used satellite thermal infrared (TIR) images from Landsat ETM? to investigate longitudinal and temporal variations in thermal patterns of the French Rhône River. Because satellite TIR remote sensing is limited to large rivers, we used an automated water extraction technique to remove pixels contaminated by terrestrial surfaces. We calculated water surface temperatures of the 500 km long reach for 83 dates between 1999 and 2009. The average accuracy and uncertainty of our data, ±1.1 and ±0.4°C for reaches with more than 3 pixels across and ±1.4 and ±0.5°C for reaches with one to 3 pixels across, are comparable to other satellite TIR studies of rivers. Our results confirmed previous studies on the thermal impacts of tributaries and nuclear power plants on the Rhône, providing an understanding of their seasonal pattern and their longitudinal impact. We showed temperature differences of 0-2°C within the largest hydroelectric bypass facilities between the bypass section and the canal, with Montélimar and Caderousse showing the most pronounced differences. Discussion points concern the potential impacts of tributaries and nuclear power plants on the spatio-temporal thermal patterns, as well as the factors responsible for thermal differences in the bypass facilities: length and minimum flow of the bypass section, and tributaries coming into this reach.

We assessed the temporal changes in and the relationships between the structures of the macroinvertebrate communities and the environmental conditions of the French Rhône River (the river from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea) over the last 20 years (1985-2004). Multisite environmental and biological datasets were analysed using multiple CO-inertia analysis (MCOA) and Procrustean analysis. Changes in environmental conditions were mainly marked by an improvement in water quality between 1985 and 1991 and by an increase in water temperature from 1985 onwards due to climate change. Improvement in water quality seemed to delay changes in community structures under global warming. We then observed trends in community structures coupled with high temperatures and a decrease in oxygen content. Interestingly, we observed both gradual changes and rapid switches in community states. These shifts seemed coupled to extreme hydroclimatic events (i.e. pulse disturbances). Floods and the 2003 heatwave enhanced the development of eurytolerant and invasive taxa which were probably able to take advantage of gradual warming environmental conditions. Despite various site-specific "press" constraints (e.g. hydropower schemes, nuclear power plants), similar changes in community structures were observed along the French Rhône River. Such consistency in temporal processes at large geographical scales underlined the strength of hydroclimatic constraints on community dynamics compared to specific local disturbances. Finally, community structures did not show any sign of recovery, and their relative sensitivities to extreme hydroclimatic events seemed to increase with time. Thus, our results suggest that global changes may reduce the resilience of current community states.
