Research on the effects of climate change on freshwater fishes has primarily focused on projected changes to habitats and distributional shifts as well as potential changes on growth, consumption, or community interactions.  However, far less attention has been given to actual changes in distributions, phenology or individual and population-level responses, and how agencies can develop adaptation strategies to cope with these changes.  In addition, substantial efforts to monitoring fish population trends as well as environmental trends (e.g., water temperature) are ongoing and provide a valuable resource to understand actual effects of a changing climate.  Our symposium will consist of presentations documenting the effects of climate change on inland fishes, and documented changes in inland fish from climate change, how agencies and users (e.g., fishers) may respond to those changes, and recent advances in data and monitoring networks to detect climate induced reposes.
