Abstract

Climate change presents a complex challenge to aquatic ecosystems, profoundly affecting fish populations, especially during their critical early life stages. The embryonic and larval phases are particularly vulnerable, drawing increased attention from those seeking to understand the factors contributing to higher mortality rates. Notably, environmental variables, particularly water temperature, emerge as crucial determinants of early fish life survival. This comprehensive review explores the intricate interplay between rising water temperatures due to climate change and the processes governing fish embryonic development, hatching success, and larvae survival. It synthesizes existing research, elucidating diverse responses among fish species to this environmental stressor and delving into the physiological and molecular mechanisms at play, including growth, development, and gene expression. The review also addresses potential ecological and economic implications, underscoring the pressing need for ongoing research, conservation initiatives, and adaptive management strategies. A nuanced understanding of the relationship between climate change and early fish life stages is imperative for ensuring the resilience and sustainability of fish populations amid ongoing environmental transformations.
