Ohio Sea Grant looks at relationship between smallmouth, invasive round goby in Lake Erie
For humans, if the temperature rises by a few degrees, the immediate impact is minimal. Some people might peel off a layer of clothing. Others might not even notice a difference.
But for fish living in Lake Erie, such a temperature increase in water could spell disaster. Fish are ectotherms, meaning that their body temperature is dictated by the water they live in. As water heats up, fish metabolism increases, causing fish to work faster and use up more energy.

Duck hunters, buckle up: Minnesota’s 2023 opener on Sept. 23 is shaping up to be a parched affair, with wetlands, shallow lakes, and river systems across the state running low and, in some extreme cases, not running at all.
The increasingly drought-addled conditions, wildlife officials say, make pre-opener scouting more important than normal. That’s true for locating and patterning ducks, as well as determining if dry conditions will affect access and mode of travel.
