Abstract

Cottus CTM Etheostoma Hypentelium minnows Nocomis Notropis Pimephales Rhinichthys seasonal variation in laboratory temperature
1. 1.|Interspecific differences are reported in the temperature tolerance (CTM) of 13 species of stream fish acclimated to 15.0°C with a photoperiod of LD 12:12. 2. 2.| Notropis stramineus had the highest CTM (33.1°C) while Hypentelium nigricans (30.8°C), Cottus bairdi (30.9°C) and Nocomis micropogon (30.9°C) had the lowest CTM's. 3. 3.| Noropis stramineus, N. cornutus and Etheostoma nigrum acclimated for 4 weeks to constant laboratory conditions had statistically significant seasonal differenes in their CTM's.
