Highlights
•Effects of warm temperature on lipid profiles and pathways were tested in clownfish
•Muscle and liver were unresponsive to temperature change
•Lipid storage capacity was maintained, even with lipid peroxidation
•No change was detected in metabolic pathways at warm temperature
•Growth remained unchanged, suggesting ability to acclimate
This work was done in collaboration between Portugal (CESAM and UCIBIO), Switzerland (Eawag) and Germany (Freiburg Univ.).
