Tank-reared individuals completed metamorphosis a month earlier at 25°C than at ambient temperatures (10–14°C). We identified several patterns from the sectioned otoliths, including reduced time to metamorphosis, faster transition to the juvenile stage, and increased increment spacing after onset of metamorphosis for those individuals exposed to warmer temperatures. For wild individuals that could be accurately aged, mean otolith increment spacing in the zone from 70 to 80 increments increased 1–2 μm for fish born in November and December to more than 3 μm for fish born in February. The increase in increment spacing is consistent with the arrival of individuals across seasonally warming temperatures in the estuary.
