Physiological Basis of Climate Change Impacts on North American Inland Fishes (2016, background): “For example, in the Fraser River (British Columbia, Canada) temperatures during summer have increased by ∼2°C since the 1950s (Patterson et al. 2007) and are projected to continue to increase along the same trajectory (Ferrari et al.”
Exposure to high temperature influences the behaviour, physiology, and survival of sockeye salmon during spawning migration (2008, background): “In addition, premature entry means that laterun sockeye leave cool coastal waters (10–13 8C) and enter the Fraser River in midsummer, when river temperatures are ‡18 8C, rather than at 10–14 8C in late summer and autumn, which is what they would normally experience after estuarine holding (Patterson”
Climate change effects on stream and river temperatures across the northwest U.S. from 1980–2009 and implications for salmonid fishes (2012, background): “…sufficient length to address potential climate effects are rare, often include only a single site (Langan et al. 2001, Petersen and Kitchell 2001; Patterson et al. 2007), or have been done to assess shorter-term climate cycles like the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) or El Niño Southern…”
Effects of river temperature and climate warming on stock‐specific survival of adult migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) (2011, methodology): “5 1C since the 1950s and 13 of the last 20 summers have been the warmest on record (Patterson et al., 2007).”
High river temperature reduces survival of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) approaching spawning grounds and exacerbates female mortality (2012, methodology): “…temperatures near the median of the historical lower river temperature distribution experienced by the Late Shuswap stock, whereas the latter represents temperature extremes that these fish have encountered since they advanced their river-entry timing (Patterson et al. 2007; Eliason et al. 2011).”
