The human influence on natural systems has been steadily increased, justifying the importance to investigate the antropic factors that cause stress in animals in their natural systems. In the aquatic environment the human actions are very evident, leading the organisms sometimes to be exposed to sub lethal effects that can cause unpredictable consequences. Variations in temperature affect the structure of cell membranes and can compromise the enzymatic activity associated with the membranes and the transport processes. In this sense, this assay postulates some hypothesis about the possible role of temperature on structural changes of cell membranes.
