Temperature is a vital regulatory feature for many organisms, governing the duration of key life history stages, with shifts in thermal regime resulting in changes in stage retention times. The California roach (Hesperoleucas symmetricus) is a native minnow which dominates the fish assemblages of many coastal California stream systems. Though tolerant of a wide range of physical conditions, little is known of the species? response to different thermal regimes which may have implications for short-term growth rates as well as long term individual fecundity and fitness. This study will focus on post-hatch, young-of-the-year roach fry growth and body condition under ambient warm and cool environments as a first step in characterizing and predicting the species? life stage response to various temperature conditions.
