As climate change accelerates, freshwater ecosystems face unprecedented challenges, placing countless species at risk. How do rising temperatures, shifting hydrological patterns, and increasing hypoxia disrupt the delicate reproductive cycles of freshwater fish? This compelling study unravels the intricate links between climate variability and key reproductive processes—spawning, sexual maturation, embryonic development, and even sex differentiation. With species that exhibit Temperature-Dependent Sex Differentiation (TSD) standing on the brink of crisis, this research highlights the profound ecological consequences of phenological shifts. A must-read for conservationists, ecologists, and policymakers, this work underscores the urgent need for action to safeguard freshwater biodiversity in a rapidly changing world.
