Hydrothermal Regime Variation and Ecological Effects on Fish Reproduction in the Yangtze River

Water temperature, as one of the important water environment impact factors, has a significant impact on the survival and development of aquatic organisms. We selected water temperature data (1959–2017) from four key hydrological stations in the Yangtze River: Cuntan, Yichang, Hankou, and Datong. We...
