  1. Warming Waters: Impact of Global Temperature Rise on Exotic SpeciesDistribution Natalie Bentley, Christina Li, MadoriSpiker and Christopher Peterson Cluster 3: Living Oceans and Global Climate Change

  2. Introduction: What are the impacts of rising global temperatures? Catfish Tilapia Duckweed http://gardenpool.org/gardening-tips/growing-duckweed http://lemur.amu.edu.pl/share/php/mirnest/browse.php?databases_selected=mirnest&species=Oreochromis_niloticus Hypothesis: Water temperature increase will not have an effect on catfish and tilapia respiration rates or on duckweed mortality rates.

  3. Catfish and Tilapia Catfish and Tilapia Procedures: Respiration Rate 21-35°C Catfish 22-34°C Tilapia

  4. Duckweed Duckweed Procedure Control Group 25°C and 3 dishes Experimental Group 35°C and 6 dishes

  5. Discussion/Conclusion • Temperature Fluctuations • Metabolism rate and consumption will increase, of tropical tilapia rather than of catfish • Native vs. exotic species competition • Global climate change conducive to extending range of exotic fish. • Marine tropical lionfish, Asian carps, Snakeheads in the United States
