Determination of the critical thermal maxima and upper lethal temperatures forAcartia tonsaDana andA. clausiGiesbrecht revealed the relative temperature tolerance of the two species.A. tonsaexhibited a wider range of acclimation temperatures compared toA. clausi. The response ofA. tonsais related to its ubiquity in Atlantic Ocean estuaries (temperate and tropical), and its capacity to live in temperate waters throughout most of the year. Differences between upper lethal temperatures and critical thermal maxima were very narrow forA. tonsafrom tropical and subtropical areas. This suggests that, in warm climates, this copepod lives close to its upper lethal temperature limits.
