Thermal effluent from the power sector: an analysis of once-through cooling system impacts on surface water temperature (2013, background): “For example, a suitable habitat for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has an optimal temperature range of 13–15 ◦C, with the lethal maximum of 24.3 ◦C (Bear et al 2007).”
Local Habitat, Watershed, and Biotic Factors Influencing the Spread of Hybridization between Native Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Introduced Rainbow Trout (2009, background): “Furthermore, because westslope cutthroat trout and rainbow trout have virtually identical optimum growth temperatures in the laboratory (13.688C and 13.188C, respectively; Bear et al. 2007), temperature alone may not prevent or slow the spread of hybridization.”
Temperature and Competition between Bull Trout and Brook Trout: A Test of the Elevation Refuge Hypothesis (2007, background): “Additionally, salmonids exhibit species-specific thermal optima and tolerances (Takami et al. 1997; Selong et al. 2001; Bear et al. 2007), and even small (1–28C) differences in these parameters may elicit marked differences in species distribution (Fausch et al. 1994).”
Role of climate and invasive species in structuring trout distributions in the interior Columbia River Basin, USA (2011, background): “However, this should not be taken as evidence that cutthroat trout are not sensitive to temperature, which has been clearly demonstrated (Bear et al. 2007; Dunham et al. 1999).”
