研究将环境变异性与鱼类生产系统联系起来的生物学机制需要解开栖息地、环境适应和适应性之间的相互作用。由于环境变量和调节过程的数量很大,除非先对“鱼-环境”系统的特性进行机制分析,否则理顺环境对鱼类性能的影响是难以解决的。在回顾我们目前对鱼类生态生理学缺乏综合理解的关键点时,我们强调了Fry (Fry 1947 university . Toronto Stud)中包含的解释潜力。医学杂志。Ser. 55,1 - 62)代谢范围的概念和环境因素的分类。这两个概念构成了一对强大的工具,用于对环境对鱼类的影响进行外部(新兴属性水平)分析,以及对所涉及的行为、形态和生理过程进行内部(机械)检查。通过我们自己和其他人的研究,我们试图证明Fry的框架代表了一个有价值的概念基础,从而导致了一系列可测试的生态生理学假设。
Investigating the biological mechanisms linking environmental variability to fish production systems requires the disentangling of the interactions between habitat, environmental adaptation and fitness. Since the number of environmental variables and regulatory processes is large, straightening out the environmental influences on fish performance is intractable unless the mechanistic analysis of the 'fish-milieu' system is preceded by an understanding of the properties of that system. While revisiting the key points in our currently poorly integrated understanding of fish ecophysiology, we have highlighted the explanatory potential contained within Fry's ( Fry 1947 Univ. Toronto Stud. Biol. Ser. 55, 1 - 62) concept of metabolic scope and categorization of environmental factors. These two notions constitute a pair of powerful tools for conducting an external ( at the emerging property level) analysis of the environmental influences on fish, as well as an internal ( mechanistic) examination of the behavioural, morphological and physiological processes involved. Using examples from our own and others work, we have tried to demonstrate that Fry's framework represents a valuable conceptual basis leading to a broad range of testable ecophysiological hypotheses.
