We tested the impacts of temperature and variable food availability on the development and metabolic rate of the larvae of a coral reef damselfish, Amphiprion percula. Our results suggest that larval fishes will be severely impacted, both independently and synergistically, by climate-change related elevated temperatures and reductions in food supply.
