The Thermal Dependent Biology of Cultured Lummpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus Linnaeus 1758): Differences Due to Temperatures During Early Life and How Tolerance is Measured

Thus, we reared lumpfish embryos (eggs), larvae and juveniles under different temperature regimes, and measured their metabolic physiology and upper thermal limits, with the goal of better understanding their physiology and mitigating the effects of high summer water temperatures on their welfare. The specific incubation (egg) / rearing temperature combinations were 6°C / 9°C (normal production temperatures), 8.5°C / 9°C, 6-11°C / 9°C, 8.5°C / 9-11°C and 6-11°C / 9-11°C; with a range of temperatures indicating that fish were exposed to stochastic temperature changes.据此，本研究在不同温度制度下培育圆鳍鱼的胚胎（鱼卵）、幼体与稚鱼，测定其代谢生理学特征与高温耐受上限，旨在深入解析其生理特性，并缓解夏季高水温对其动物福利造成的不利影响。具体的孵化（鱼卵）/养殖温度组合方案如下：6℃/9℃（常规生产养殖温度）、8.5℃/9℃、6~11℃/9℃、8.5℃/9~11℃以及6~11℃/9~11℃；上述温度区间设置使得试验个体暴露于随机温度波动环境中。
