Map of the Northwestern (NW) Mediterranean Sea showing the sampling stations for otolith collection
Fig. 1. Effect of rate of temperature change (i.e. warming or cooling rate) on the thermal tolerance of Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae (Batch 1). Mean (±SD) critical thermal maximum (CTmax, red) and minimum (CTmin, blue) are displayed at four cooling or warming rates (1.5, 3, 6, and 9 °C h−1). Individual values are shown as small dots. Sample size (n) for CTmin and CTmax at each rate is 9. No significant effect of rate of temperature change was observed. Authors
