Global warming is already very tough for animals in the wild, but it may be toughest for creatures like fish, whose body temperatures are controlled by the water temperatures around them.

Fish have to evolve to handle higher water temperatures, if they can’t move to areas with colder water. But what if adapting to warmer water has other unwanted consequences?
In a new publication in Nature Climate Change, researchers looked at zebrafish that they had specially bred over 7 generations to tolerate higher maximum water temperatures.
