Metabolic rate and critical thermal maximum<i>CTmax</i>estimates for westslope cutthroat trout,<i>Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Global warming is changing the thermal habitat of cold-water freshwater fishes, which can lead to decreased fitness and survival and cause shifts in species distributions. The Alberta population of westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) is listed as ‘Threatened’ under the Canadian Species at Risk Act. The major threats to the species are the alteration in habitat and water flow, competition and hybridization with non-native trout species and climate change. Here, we conducted (i) intermittent-flow respirometry experiments with adult native westslope cutthroat trout and non-native rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and (ii) critical thermal maximum experiments (CTmax) with adult westslope cutthroat trout to obtain valuable input data for species distribution models. For both species, standard metabolic rate (SMR) was lower at 10°C compared to 15°C and westslope cutthroat trout had higher SMR than rainbow trout. Although there were inter-specific differences in SMR, forced aerobic scope (using a standardized chase protocol) was different at 10°C, but no significant differences were observed at 15°C because of relative smaller differences in maximum metabolic rate between the species. CTmax of westslope cutthroat trout acclimated to 10°C was 27.0 ± 0.8°C and agitation temperature was 25.2 ± 1.0°C. The results from this study will inform and parametrize cumulative effects assessments and bioenergetics habitat modelling for the recovery planning of the species.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
