- Abstract
This document is a summary of a journal article titled "Impacts of Human Activities and Climate Change on Freshwater Fish—Volume II." The article explores the threats faced by freshwater fish due to human activities and climate change, including changes in land and water use, pollution, invasive species, and climate change. It presents case studies from different regions, covering topics such as the importance of macrophytes for fish diversity, the presence of microplastics in fish gastrointestinal tracts, the effects of atrazine exposure on fish behavior, genetic and morphological variations in barbel species, heat tolerance of Thai river fish species, trophic structure of fish communities in subtropical lakes, habitat suitability of native fish species in Central Anatolia, and factors influencing fish beta diversity and size diversity. The article provides valuable insights into the impacts of human-induced changes on freshwater fish and offers potential solutions for conservation efforts. Additionally, the article discusses a study on the ecology of balitorid fish in Thailand, which found that high ammonia levels and river temperatures negatively affected the occurrence and diversity of balitorid fish, while dissolved silica had a positive influence. The study concluded that balitorid fish are vulnerable to climate change and pollution, and recommended reducing anthropogenic pressure to preserve their freshwater habitat.
