“…Temperature is generally considered to be one of the most important environmental variables in early growth of fish populations. It has a significant influence on not only the timing and duration of fish spawning season, but also primary production in an ecosystem (Bergenius, Meekan, Robertson, & McCormick, 2002; Fedewa, Miller, Hurst, & Jiang, 2017; Gallagher, Hice, McElroy, Cerrato, & Frisk, 2015; Houde, 1989; Husebø, Slotte, & Stenevik, 2007; Morse, 1989; Trip, Clements, Raubenheimer, & Choat, 2014; Valenzuela & Vargas, 2002). Primary production, represented by chlorophyll concentration, is used as an indicator of food availability in most studies (Bailey & Houde, 1989; Leggett & Deblois, 1994).…”
