Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

My topic is the reaction of fish to a sudden temperature change. We are looking for some journal articles but have been having difficulties locating one. If you could give us a URL of a journal that would be helpful.

Thank you.

Here is an article that talks about fish becoming shocked by temperature change and the overall importance of temperature for egg incubation:

I found the article easy to follow even though I am not an expert on fish.

Good luck!
