Natural swimming speed of Dascyllus reticulatus increases with water temperature

13 Recent research on the relationship between coral reef water temperature and fish 14 swimming activity stated that swimming speed is inversely correlated with temperature 15 (Johansen and Jones, 2011; Johansen et al. 2014). For tropical coral reefs, one anticipated 16 consequence of global warming is an increase of ≥3oC in average water temperature in 17 addition to greater thermal fluctuations (IPCC 2007; Lough, 2007; Johansen and Jones, 18 2011). Evaluating the behaviour of coral reef associated fish species under different 19 temperatures can help to assess their sensitivity to climate change. In this paper, the speed 20 of freely swimming fish in a natural setting is investigated as a function of seasonal 21 changes in water temperature, as contrasted with systematic temperature increases in a fish 22 tank. Here we show that Dascyllus reticulatus swim faster as a function of increased water 23
