Ocean warming impacts growth and development of clownfish larvae

Caption

As clownfish larvae mature into juveniles, they pass through seven stages of development (only stages two to seven pictured). The clownfish raised at 31°C grew and developed quicker than those raised at 28°C, reaching each developmental stage in a shorter number of days.
