Summary

Although climate change is an important factor affecting inland fishes globally, a comprehensive review of how climate change has impacted and will continue to impact inland fishes worldwide does not currently exist. We conducted an extensive, systematic primary literature review to identify peer-reviewed publications with projected and documented examples of climate change impacts on inland fishes globally. Since the mid-1980s, scientists have projected the effects of climate change on inland fishes, and more recently, documentation of climate change impacts on inland fishes has increased. Of the thousands of title and abstracts reviewed, we selected 624 publications for a full text review: 63 of these publications documented an effect [...]

Purpose

To date, no comprehensive literature review has been conducted to identify the current research on climate change effects on inland fish globally. We collected peer-reviewed publications in the primary literature to address the following objectives: (1) identify peer-reviewed studies with projected and documented effects of climate change on various aspects of inland fishes (i.e., demographic rates, distributions, phenological changes, assemblage dynamics, and evolutionary changes) published in the scientific primary literature from 1985 to 2015; (2) qualitatively and quantitatively examine and compare patterns in these studies by geographic region, species, fish response (e.g., fish demographic and phenological response), and species guilds (e.g., thermal guild); and (3) identify the most commonly cited management recommendations for mitigating the potential effects of climate change on inland fish.
