Abstract
Blacknose dace,
Rhinichthys atratulus, were acclimated to long daylength, 16 hr of light and 8 hr of darkness (L:D 16:8), and short daylength, 8 hr of light and 16 hr of darkness (L:D 8:16), at 20°C.
Long daylength fish had a higher incipient upper lethal temperature (29·9°C) than short daylength fish (28·8°C).
Long daylength fish had a significantly higher (
P ≤ 0·0.01) mean resistance time at all but one lethal test temperature.
Lethal temperature of
R. atratulus is compared to that of ecologically related species.
